Our Learning Community...
This week our 3rd-5th graders started taking the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) which are part of the state testing system called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress or CAASPP. The CAASPP System is designed to promote high-quality teaching and learning by giving information to teachers, students, and their families about what students know and can do.
Families can help us by making sure your student:
arrives at school on-time (by 7:45 a.m.)
gets a good night's sleep
eats a healthy breakfast each morning - Remember students can have breakfast before school (7:35 a.m. in the Cafe)
For more information on the CAASPP, please visit these links:
