Bye Bye OAKS!

Hey all!

This coming year, you will no longer be taking the OAKS for math and reading.  You will now be taking the "Smarter Balanced" assessment for both reading and math.  If you would like to see what it looks like or take a practice test, click on this link: http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/
