In 2013-14 the first assessment was be given by computer to 3 rd – 11 th grade students. The scores did not “count”. In 2014-2015 schools will receive results from the testing. Testing is conducted by SBAC – Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.

23. Backpacks: What you should see Real-world examples that makes what students learn in English and math make more sense Math homework that asks students to write out how they got their answer Writing assignments that require students to use evidence instead of opinion Books that are both fiction and non- fiction Math homework that asks students to use different methods to solve the same problem

24. Some questions to ask your child 24 Did you talk about anything you read in class today? Did you use evidence when you talk about what you read? Did you learn any new words in class today? What do they mean? How do you spell them? How did you use math today? Can you show me an example? Tell me something you learned in your reading. How did you learn it? What math problems did you do today? How did you get your answer?
