CAASPP Testing Postponed!
The California Department of Education has submitted a waiver request for CAASPP testing. If this waiver is approved, schools will not be required to administer the Smarter Balanced Assessment or other tests under the CAASPP category. The waiver has not yet been approved, so for now, testing is postponed until at least mid-April. If the waiver is approved, students will not take CAASPP tests for the 20-21 school year.

Question of the Week
Question of the Week: While at school, we had a daily question of the day in the morning announcements. Since we are now in remote learning, we will have a weekly Question of the Day in the Sunday night call/email. Students/families can submit an answer. A correct response will be randomly selected and the winner will be announced in the following Sunday callout/email. By submitting a response, you are agreeing to having your name announced in the schoolwide call out/email.
Last week’s Question of the Week: Last week’s question honored National Women’s History Month: What amendment to the United States Constitution gave women the right to vote? What year did this happen?
The answer: Passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote.
Congratulations to Jade Marquez an 8th grader from Mr. Rizzo's 2nd period homeroom class for correctly answering the question.
