Smarter Balance


Third grade is the year the Smarted Balanced (SBAC) assessments begins.  It usually occurs towards the middle/end of March for third graders.  Here is the link to the website so you can familiarize yourself with the test.  This testing is much different than NWEA (which students have been doing since K at Underhill) so we will practice the test many times beforehand.  Students can also practice at home and get familiar with the structure and tools.  It may be a good idea for you to see what your child is expected to be able to complete by helping them with the practice tests at home.  The link to the practice tests can be found here. You do not need any usernames or passwords.  

*Students were introduced to the SBAC testing and we have been to the ELA Training Test so check out the features!
