State Assessments start soon!
Starting April 21 students in grades 5 & 8 will take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS).
Starting April 28 Student in grades 3 - 8 will take the Smarter Balanced Assessment in Math and English Language Arts.
Students will take the State Assessments in-person during on-campus times and complete the tests online.
Remote Students will take the assessments in person at HCA following the same schedule as the on campus program. Please reach out to your teacher for more information.
The results from these tests will give a more accurate picture (snapshot) of how students are progressing toward grade level standards. This is just one moment in their academic journey.
For more information about the Smarter Balanced and WCAS tests, visit: https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/testing/state-testing-overview, and click on the name of the test.
To try out an online Smarter Balanced practice test or WCAS training test, visit: https://login10.cloud1.tds.cambiumast.com/student/V571/Pages/LoginShell.aspx?c=Washington_PT&a=student
Please call or email Brenda Lillie, if you have questions about state testing at our school.
Thank you for continuing to work with us to make sure your student is successful. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better support your student. We want your student to leave us with a solid foundation of skills and a future full of opportunities.
