Week 31 Updates

It’s “game time” for our Juniors as they take the CAASPP and CAST tests this week, and we also have our next PAC meeting on Thursday, and the final Community Learning Day of the year this Friday.  Looking forward to a great week!

 

Wear a Jersey for “Game Time” on Monday, 4/20! Let’s support our 11th grade students as they take the CAASPP and CAST state tests this week.  We are encouraging our students to “get their heads into the game” as they prepare to do their best on these assessments!  We encourage students to wear your favorite team’s jersey on Monday!

State Testing: All students in 11th grade will take the CAASPP tests (also known as the SBAC) in English and Math, as well as the CAST Science test.  Students will take these tests this week from Monday, April 20th – Thursday, April 23rd.  Please see here for more information on these tests and how to support your student.

Parent Advisory Committee Meeting: We have our fourth PAC meeting of the year on Thursday, April 23rd  @4:30pm (Zoom link) from 4:30-5:30pm.  At this meeting, we will be looking at LCAP goals 3, 4, and 5.

Community Learning Day:  The fourth (and final) Community Learning Day (CLD) of the year will take place on Friday, April 24.  See here for a list of descriptions.  As a reminder, ALL students must complete the CLD attendance quiz on Canvas.
