B-UMS. State testing is a little different this year than in the past. The writing portion of the state testing will take place earlier in the school year. B-UMS will be testing in the mornings of March 5th and March 6th. The reason for this is- the writing portion of the state testing will be hand scored. (Not by us-by someone else). There is more time built in to score these test. The remainder of the subjects will be testing in May as usual. Please help us help your student preform their best. Getting a good nights rest, and a healthy breakfast. Please refrain from picking up your student during testing times as your student will be in a secure testing environment and it's not to be interrupted to pull a student for pick up. Make-up testing will be completed for any students absent on the school wide testing days.
March 5th All 8th grade students will test AND the 6th grade Teal Sharks team
March 6th All 7th grade students will test AND the 6th grade Sapphire Surfers team
Thanks for all your help!
Attention Current B-UHS and incoming 2024 Freshman students!
