2025 – 2026 SBA and WCAS Assessment Schedule
We will be using the alternate schedule shown below for Math Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA), English Language Arts Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA), and Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) (8th grade only) testing. Students will test in their first period classes on each of the following days for the assessment listed. We have built one make up testing day into our assessment schedule in order to help reduce the amount of time out of class for students who require additional time or missed the initial testing date.
May 4th – SBA English Language Arts Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)
May 5th – SBA English Language Arts Performance Task (PT)
May 7th – WCAS (8th grade only) & Make up English Language Arts SBA (6th and 7th grade)
May 11th – Math Computer Adaptive Test
May 12th – Math Performance Task
May 14th – Make up testing all grades
