Our staff continues to receive
professional development on the new SBAC test coming up in April. If you haven’t already done so, please be
sure to read the flyer sent home last week that was sent out by Superintendent
Matayoshi. If for some reason your
son/daughter didn’t bring one home, you can still get important information by
following the directions below:
·
Put your curser on the links
that follow (in blue) and hit CTL + Click to get to these sites
·
The SBAC site has some great information. If you click on
Smarter Balanced Assessments, you will find the practice tests and sample items
in the drop down menu. The DOE also has a site with even more SBAC information that links
out to an AlohaHSP web-site with practice
tests.
As you go through the various
sites, you’ll immediately notice how different the Smarter Balanced Assessment
will be from any other test our students have taken. The high school version of this test will
take 8 hours to complete! It will
require our students to persevere and not give up. We will break the test into several days but
it will still require intense focus and stamina by each student. Juniors will be taking the test but even if
your student is not a junior, I highly recommend that you visit these
sites. The states that have already
taken the Smarter Balanced Assessment have noticed a huge drop in proficiency
rates from previous years. Our DOE is working
hard to get the word out to parents and the public that these lower scores don’t
necessarily mean our students or schools are failing. The Smarter Balanced Assessment is a
completely different test that cannot be compared directly with the previous HSA
test or recorded scores by students/schools.
If you have any questions, please call the school and speak to our
counselors, Ms. Asahi or myself.
We have a ton of sports again this
week and the WAFF carnival that will be held on our front lawn this Friday and
Saturday. Please come out and support
the WAFF as they are a great support for our teachers and school.
Have a great week everyone; here’s
your announcements.
