Through meaningful relationships, everyone grows the will to learn, the skills to thrive, and the thrill of lifelong learning.

CMAS

Each spring, CMAS is given to elementary and middle school students.The primarily online test requires an average of three to six hours in each subject area  to complete. the CMAS "academic check-up" provides lots of information, such as:

  • how your student is performing on Colorado Academic Standards
  • where there are areas of strength and areas for growth for their learning
  • tracks their academic progress over time

Elementary dates (grades 3 - 5):

  • Math: March 27 - 29

  • English Language Arts:   March 30 - April

  • Science (5th only):  April 10 - 12

Middle School Dates:

  • English Language Arts (morning) :  April 4 - 6

  • Math (afternoon):  April 4 - 6

  • Science (8th only):  April 10 - 12

Parent opt out information

Families who wish to excuse their student from participation in one or more of the state assessments may do so by filling out the district’s opt-out application.  You can also request the Assessment Participation Exemption form to be printed off for you to sign (if your student has not begun taking tests). If you have more than one child, you will need to fill out the form or write a letter for each child to opt out

We encourage our students to participate in all assessments because they provide valuable information to families and educators that show whether students have mastered grade-level content and are on track to graduate prepared for the 21st century. Results from these assessments inform where Steamboat Springs School District can improve curriculum, instruction and leadership in order to ensure that every child receives an equitable education and is on a path to success.
