It’s hard to believe we’re in the final quarter of the school year! Beginning March 31, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) assessments. These statewide tests, required by state and federal law, measure achievement of grade-level expectations based on the Colorado Academic Standards.

At TIS, we use assessment data to identify strengths and areas for growth, guiding instruction to support meaningful progress for all students.

Testing will begin the week before Spring Break and continue afterward. If a student is absent on a testing day, they will be rescheduled to complete their missed test as soon as possible.

📌 See the full testing schedule below and linked flyer for details.

School Climate Surveys - As part of monitoring our Ends Policy goal of fostering a safe and healthy community through “consistent student and staff culture across buildings which supports achieving our ends”, we will have students in grades 3-12, staff, and parents complete the School Climate Assessment Instruments (SCAI) developed and administered by the Alliance for the Study of School Climate (ASSC) in the month of March. The SCAI surveys, which are scientifically developed and third-party administered and analyzed, are rated as one of the most effective school climate tools. Below are the links to the parent survey in both English and Spanish. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, as it provides valuable data on areas of strength and improvement. This survey will be open through the month of March.
