Dear Creede Families,
The Colorado Measures of Student Success (CMAS) testing will begin on Monday, April 6. CMAS tests are the only common measuring tool for students in grades 3 through 9 in Colorado. Participation is important because results help students, parents, schools and districts understand whether students have mastered the content they need to know by the end of the school year and are on track to be ready for college or career after graduation.
All students in grades 3 through 8 will be tested in English Language Arts and Math.
Students in grades 5, 8, and 11 will be tested in Science. Students in grades 4 and 7 will be tested in Social Studies this year.
The state test for juniors is the SAT, which will be administered April 14.
The state test for sophomores is the PSAT 10, which will be administered April 15.
The state test for freshmen is the PSAT 8/9 which will be administered on April 16.
We have a small window in which to conduct our testing, so attendance is extremely important to avoid make-up testing.
Testing will begin promptly at 8:15am.
To help your student perform their best on test day, we encourage the following:
✅ Ensure your student gets a good night’s sleep before testing.
✅ Provide a healthy breakfast on the morning of the test.
✅ Arrive at school on time to avoid any disruptions.
✅ Encourage a positive attitude and remind your child to do their best.
We appreciate your support in making this a smooth and successful testing experience for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 719-658-2220.
Thank you for your partnership in your student’s education!
Respectfully,
Mrs. Haberman
Creede School District, Principal
