SBAC Report
The Oregon Department of Education provides families in Grades 4-5 with individual student reports that detail progress on the new Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBAC). These new Statewide assessments are scored differently than the former OAKS multiple-choice tests, and the bar was raised. The information on your child’s performance is one indicator of how he/she progressing in school. We’ll continue to look at SBAC results, as well as other measures, to help MES students perform well in 2017-18.

If you have a 4^th or 5^th grader, look for the report next week, review it, and contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions. (Last year’s 5^th graders’ reports will be sent home from the middle school because they’re now 6^th graders.)
