Colorado Measures of Academic Success
The Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS, is the state summative assessment for language arts, math, science and social studies. CMAS is aligned to the state’s rigorous academic standards and designed to gauge how well students are mastering the standards and are prepared for their next grade. Our 3rd - 5th grade students will be taking the literacy (ELA) portion of CMAS the week of March 20th - March 24th. Below is our literacy (ELA) CMAS schedule.
