		SBAC The Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium is an online summative assessment that utilizes computer- adaptive testing and performance tasks to track progress toward mastery of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across multiple states. Assembly Bill (AB) 484 requires most students in grades 3-8 and 11 to take the SBAC as part of the statewide CAASPP - CA Assessment of Student Performance and Progress testing program except for the following students: 1 - English Learners (ELs) in a US school for less than 1 year will not take the ELA test. They only take math. 2 - Students with severe cognitive disabilities, as documented in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP), will not take the ELA or math tests.

		SBAC Test Windows April 9 - May 4, 2018 School are required to complete SBAC summative testing during these dates. Attendance during these windows is important as each test builds on the previous test. Students missing one day may need to halt their testing progress until make-up tests are administered.
