Attention 11th Grade Parents:
Each year, our 11th Graders participate in mandated State Testing usually during the month of April. Last March 2020, State testing was cancelled as a result of the Pandemic. This year, the State has not officially cancelled the testing yet. While we are not certain if our 11th Graders will be required to test, we have tentatively planned for CAASPP testing during the last week of March. More information will be shared as soon as it comes available.
