SBA Testing for Blackboard Students
Please see the letter below on how our 100% distance learning students will take the SBA state tests this year. Parent Letter for Blackboard Students Regarding SBA Testing Opt-Out Information The State is obligated to assess ACCESS, Math, ELA, and Science progress annually. If you do not want your child(ren) to participate, please submit a written letter refusing your child(ren)s participation in the specific assessments. Please include your child(ren)s name, grade, advisory teacher, your name/relationship, and contact numbers (including email address). Only written requests will be accepted and the deadline to submit the letter is April 1, 2021. No exceptions will be made. Communication:
Parents and students, when emailing any instructor for support, please put the following information in the subject bar: BB student (name) grade level. This will help the teachers more easily identify students that need assistance. Science - Paul_Holwegner@eckms.k12.hi.us Social Studies - Jennifer_Hreljac@eckms.k12.hi.us Math - Pomai_Burkart@eckms.k12.hi.us English - Denise_Karratti@eckms.k12.hi.us 
Parents and students who are struggling to understand the Blackboard Platform can schedule an "on-boarding" session. Please email taharaa.stein@k12.hi.us to schedule this. You and your child can come to campus, spend about 30 minutes with the instructors and learn the system.
