Dear Bradley families:
The Colorado Measures of Academic Success, known as CMAS, are the state’s end-of-year common measurement of students’ progress and include the following assessments:
- English language arts/ELA: grades 3-8
- or Spanish language arts/CSLA: grades 3-4 *Qualifying multilingual learners.
- Math: grades 3-8
- Science: grades 5, 8 and 11
- Social Studies: grades 4 and 7 *At select schools.
Review the enclosed CMAS Schedule to see when your child will be testing. Missed instruction due to makeup testing can be avoided when students arrive on-time and when appointments and vacations are scheduled for non-testing days. Before each CMAS test session, students are instructed to turn off personal electronic devices and turn them in to the teacher. This, along with our school cell phone policy, helps maintain the validity of tests and a standardized testing environment for all students.
Data from assessments are critical in determining if educational goals are being met and if students are on track to graduate prepared for college and careers. Your support is appreciated; however if you do plan to excuse your student from testing, you can do so in the Parent Portal, October-February (giving the school time to plan and schedule accordingly). Instructions are linked at the bottom of this page: https://assessments.dpsk12.org/o/assessment/page/cmas.
