What is SAGE?

SAGE We are getting closer and closer to the upcoming end of year testing. SAGE or Student Assessment of Growth and Excellence, is a new system of tests that will begin this year for all Utah students. The Utah State Office of Education has created a series of brochures to explain SAGE and how it will affect you and your student.
