WLCSD Benchmarks Assessments (BAs) are simply snapshots of student achievement at one particular point in time. They do not, and are not designed to , assess all of the standards that are addressed during a particular unit/time period/school year. BAs are supplemented with additional classroom formative and summative assessments to inform instruction and grading.
