On April 19th , 2024 a Pep Rally was held in the Big Gym to encourage students to do well on the test. The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) are comprehensive, end-of-year assessments for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards for ELA and mathematics and measure progress toward college and career readiness.

The Smarter Balanced Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) are one of two distinct types of interim assessments being made available by the Consortium; the other type is the Interim Comprehensive Assessment (ICAs). IABs are short, focused sets or blocks of items that measure
one or more assessment targets. Results from these assessments provide information about a student’s strengths or needs in relation to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and, therefore, generate more detailed information for instructional purposes than the summative or ICAs alone. The IABs are currently available as fixed forms. The fixed forms are administered online, using the same delivery
software as the summative assessments.
