Venado Middle School is currently administering the state Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBAC) to 7th and 8th grade students. Math SBAC testing was administered between April 29 and May 3. The Math SBAC is comprised of two sections, the performance task (PT) and the computer adaptive test (CAT) which is a multiple choice/short answer section.

Additionally, students in grade 8 will participate in the first operational administration of the California Science Test (CAST), an online test based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) on May 7 - May 9 in their Science classes. As a reminder, it is very important that students are present at school on-time, all day, each day during our testing process. Students are required to have a reading book with them each day of testing.
