Special Edition: CMAS Update

Colorado State's Plan Conditionally Approved by Department of Education
What does that mean for Jeffco?

On Friday, March 26, the Colorado Department of Education announced the State's plan for state assessments has been conditionally approved by the U.S. Department of Education. 

Under the approved plan, districts are required to administer some of the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) and Colorado alternate (CoAlt) assessments, while other assessments will become optional or will be suspended. Grade 8 Science, PSAT 9 and 10, as well as the SAT for grade 11 will be administered as previously scheduled.
 
The table below summarizes the state assessment requirements for Spring 2021:
Jeffco's spring 2021 CMAS test window is March 22 - May 14. Each school tailors its testing schedule within this window to meet the unique needs of its students and community. Schools will be communicating with their students and families about specific test dates and other CMAS information.

The reduced assessment requirements are for this spring only. Parents and caregivers who want to know how their children are progressing in both English language arts and math may have their children take both tests. Schools will notify families about how students may take assessments in both subject areas.
