The Smarter Balance State Assessments will be given March 21st-23rd. This is a required assessment by the State of South Dakota for ALL Juniors to take.
Assessments will be given in Math, English and Science. The assessments measure student knowledge mastery/understanding/ of state content standards in these areas.
Below is the schedule for testing next week. We ask that students please plan to be in attendance on the designated days, and to not schedule appointments during testing times.
If a student is unable to attend a scheduled testing session, they need to reach out to their assigned School Counselor to set up a make up time.
