State Testing
May 11–22 for All Students
May 26–29 for 8th Only (Science Exam)
It is time for state testing again. These exams are known as the California Assessment of
Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). All parents should have received, via email, a letter from the district regarding these exams.
These tests require a lot of focus and energy. During these weeks, we need your help from home. Please make sure your child does the following:
-
gets a full night sleep (at least 8 hours)
-
gets a nutritious breakfast before coming to school
-
arrives to school on time, avoids absences, and does not leave school early for appointments or non-emergency reasons.
These simple things go a long way to reduce stress and help a student feel more confident while taking these tests.
