FastBridge

(CAASPP Testing, Spring 2021)

Each year students in grades 3 - 8 and 11 take the California State Assessments known as Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. For the 2020 - 2021 school year, the Federal and California State Boards of Education have granted flexibility to districts to determine if this is the best assessment to give students to gather data on how our students are progressing. The flexibility allows district to either give the SBAC assessments or give local assessments.


Based on this flexibility, CNUSD has determined that is best for us to administer local assessments to our students. All grade 11 students will take their local assessments in ELA and MATH via FastBridge.


After the students have completed the assessments, families will receive a student score report on their progress.
