The Assessment Calendars page pulls together the different formats available of important dates, related to state assessments, that have been created by OEAA. The formats available are excel, pdf, and google calendars. The dates are the same across each format, but some do have more detail than others. The high school assessments, PSAT for grades 9 and 10, and the MME (SAT with Essay, WIN Work Readiness, and M-STEP) do have different combinations of the assessments, which can be helpful based on an assessment coordinator's responsibilities.
