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.

Parent Input Form

Understanding your child’s learning style is one of our most important staff responsibilities. It is crucial that classes are balanced on a number of criteria that affect teaching and learning. We consider student achievement, independence, behavior, academic level, boy/girl ratio, and combinations of students who learn well together when creating classes. Parents may have some additional information which can help create the best possible learning environment, and we welcome this input. When providing this information, we ask that parents focus upon the needs of the child and the type of environment that will best meet those needs. This form is for input. It is not used to request specific teachers as grade assignments are subject to change each fall. Input is considered when the form is submitted by 3:30 Friday, May 22, 2026.
