Skoglund Middle School Students will begin CMAS testing April 9th (Mathematics), April 10th (ELA), and April 11th (8th Grade Science). This test will begin promptly at 8:00 am until 3:00pm. During these testing days, The Colorado Department of Education requires that all students turn in their phones, smart watches, and all other electronic devices until the end of the day. If a students is caught in possession of their phones, smart watches, or other electronic device, there will be severe consequences. After the end of the testing day, students will be released from school. IF A STUDENT RIDES THE BUS or is waiting for a younger sibling, they will need to plan to wait in the library until 4:00pm. We highly encourage you to talk to your child about trying their best on the test. Our school gets a state rating based on the test results, and our teachers use this assessment data to drive instructional practices. Please make sure your student gets a good night's sleep the night before and eats breakfast the day of the test. Remember, the CMAS Test is an important data tool for Skoglund Middle School, and all students are expected to be in attendance. Los estudiantes de la escuela secundaria Skoglund comenzarán las pruebas CMAS el 9 de abril (Matemáticas), el 10 de abril (ELA) y el 11 de abril (Ciencias de 8.º grado). Esta prueba comenzará puntualmente a las 8:00 am hasta las 3:00 pm. Durante estos días de exámenes, el Departamento de Educación de Colorado exige que todos los estudiantes entreguen sus teléfonos, relojes inteligentes y todos los demás dispositivos electrónicos hasta el final del día. Si un estudiante es sorprendido en posesión de sus teléfonos, relojes inteligentes u otros dispositivos electrónicos, habrá consecuencias graves. Después del final del día de prueba, los estudiantes saldrán de la escuela. SI UN ESTUDIANTE VIAJA EN AUTOBÚS o está esperando a un hermano menor, deberá planear esperar en la biblioteca hasta las 4:00 p.m. Le recomendamos encarecidamente que hable con su hijo sobre cómo hacer lo mejor que pueda en el examen. Nuestra escuela obtiene una calificación estatal basada en los resultados de las pruebas y nuestros maestros utilizan estos datos de evaluación para impulsar las prácticas de instrucción. Asegúrese de que su estudiante duerma bien la noche anterior y desayune el día del examen. Recuerde, la prueba CMAS es una herramienta de datos importante para la escuela secundaria Skoglund y se espera que todos los estudiantes asistan.
