SBA Testing Schedule – PCMS – Spring 2022

This spring public schools in Washington State are required to administer state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. For PCMS this means:  

• 6^th grade students will take the Math and ELA Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA).
• 7^th grade students will take the Math and ELA SBA .
• 8^th grade students will take the Math and ELA SBA and the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS).  

PCMS will be on an adjusted schedule from Monday, May 2 to Friday, May 20. Students will go to three periods and Lynx Life each day.  Classes will be longer to accommodate the testing window.
