Smarter Balanced Testing Window 4/27 - 5/29

The Smarter Balanced Testing window occurs from April 27 through May 29. The table below shows Green Mountain’s testing schedule.  

There is a short window of opportunity for our students to complete the SBA, therefore, please make sure your child arrives to school each day on time. Please do not schedule doctor, dentist, or other appointments on these days. Encourage your child to relax, do their best, pay close attention to the directions, and attempt to answer all questions. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before the test and has a good breakfast. We greatly appreciate your extra support during this time.

Please read Mr. Lancaster's rules and safety guidelines. This was also sent home in backpacks with each student this afternoon.

It is very important that students remember to wear socks that cover their ankles and to bring a helmet for this activity.
