2016 Assessments

The fall semester is flying by, and it is time to begin planning for our 2016 winter and spring assessment windows. There have been many changes in assessment at the state level for the upcoming PARCC / CMAS test administrations as well as for the college preparatory and college entrance exams . With this in mind, we have added a page on the Branson School Online website that includes descriptions of all of the assessments (both state and local) that our students participate in as well as an assessment calendar for the 2015-2016 school year. The link to this page is included below. Please note that the assessment calendar includes the broad assessment windows. As we get closer to the assessment windows, we will share more specific information regarding assessment site locations as well as testing dates and times. If you have questions regarding state and local assessments, please feel free to contact Kelly Kenney (kkenney@bransonschoolonline.com).
