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 5th grade students will be taking the science portion of CMAS Tuesday, April 18th - Thursday, April 20th. 

Please help us in preparing your child for CMAS by going to bed on time, eating a healthy breakfast, and arriving at school by 7:30 a.m. on testing days.
