Burnett Gazette
December 2019/January 2020
A Message from Ms. Asrat
We are officially halfway through the 19-20 school year (Friday, January 10 was day 90/180)! We are all excited to excel in the second half of the year!
If you haven't already seen it, the California School Accountability Dashboard is available to the public. Find the Dashboard here. The Dashboard reflects data from the 2018-2019 school year, including results on the 2019 SBAC and ELPAC, attendance data, and suspension data from the 18-29 school year. Burnett is GREEN in every domain and has NO student subgroups in the red! I am so proud of our teachers, staff, students, and families, for this great snapshot of Burnett! I know we'll keep getting better and better every year!
Sixth grade parents, if your student was in 5th grade last year, you may now access the 2019 California Science Test results. The directions are provided in the Information guide below. The information guide is offered in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
All students learning English as a second language will take the ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessment Consortium) again in February/March of this year. 3rd-6th grade students will take the SBAC in April/May. 5th grade students will also take the CAST (California Science Test) in May.
As always, please reach out with questions and concerns.
In collaboration,
Ms. Asrat
