Dear Families:

Preliminary state test scores for Smarter Balanced English/Language Arts and Smarter Balanced Math are starting to become available on a per student basis.   While official scores don’t arrive until late summer, we wanted families to get a sneak peak and access these preliminary scores as soon as possible.   Student scores will be posted in Skyward Family Access on a regular basis throughout the next few weeks as they become available.   Listed below are directions for accessing scores in Family Access:

1. Login to Family Access from top right link at www.bethelsd.org
   Note:  Your school’s main office can help you get a Family Access login if you don’t already have one.
2. Select Test Scores on left margin.
3. Click on the show scores link next to the test labeled “SBA” for your child’s grade level.
   
   

To help you understand your child’s score, go to the state’s interactive test score guide:   testscoreguide.org/wa .   You can view a short video on how to navigate this test score guide at www.bethelsd.org/Domain/334.

Please be advised that these preliminary scores are not finalized and in rare cases may change.  Officials scores and paper score reports will be available during the fall conferences. In addition, scores from the 5th, 8th, and 11th grade Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) will not be available until fall.

Parents,

*Please talk with your son/daughter about their class schedule and identify which days they will be SBA testing over the next few weeks.

*Testing sessions will occur in the morning, in extended testing blocks of time.

*Please ensure that all students arrive to school on time, get a good night's sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast.

*Students cannot in any case have a cell phone or 'Smart' watch on their person at anytime during their SBA testing. The state is enforcing this very strictly this year.

Parents,

Please complete our Youth Truth survey, as the results give us ideas to improve Frontier. We have provided a link here and in our weekly parent email memo, and we will have devices available during conferences. We would love to hear from ALL Frontier parents.
