Smarter Balance Testing!

This Spring, students in grades 3rd, 4th and 5th will take the Smarter Balanced tests in Math and English Language Arts. Students in grade 5 will also take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS). The results from these tests will give a more accurate picture of whether students are on track to be ready for college or career. Students will take the SBA and WCAS tests online.

Fairmount is scheduled to test:

3rd: SBA-ELA: May 18 - May 20 and SBA-Math: June 2-June 3
4th: SBA-ELA: May 19-May 21 and SBA-Math: June 2-June 3

To help your child be successful, please make sure they do the following:

Go to bed early and get plenty of rest each night.
Eat a nutritious breakfast each morning.
Be at school on time, every day, ready to show what you know.
Do their best but don’t worry or be overly anxious about the test.

Please contact Mrs. Williams, Dean of Students, with questions you may have regarding SBA testing.

Student Showcase- Titanic Replica!

Mrs. Albano’s 2nd graders are currently obsessed with the Titanic! Today, Dmitriy came in from recess excited to share his Titanic replica and explain his creative process.

His work is now being showcased in the library, where it’s been a big hit, not just with the 2nd graders, but with everyone who has stopped by. It’s sparked so many thoughtful questions and conversations.
