WHAT IS CAASPP?
CAASPP is the California Assessment of Student Progress and Performance. Students take the assessment in the Spring and begin receiving score reports in the Summer. CAASPP is an assessment intended to provide information that can monitor student progress along with the grade-level standards and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career.
CAASPP is an assessment completed entirely online and includes computer-adaptive tests and performance tasks in English–Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. All 3rd and 4th-grade students will complete assessments in English-Language Arts and Math. All 5th-grade students will complete English-Language Arts, Math, and Science assessments.
CAASPP scores do not factor into students’ overall grades, but the scores do give us valuable feedback on student academic performance each year the test is completed. This information is further factored into our Dashboard data which drives the LCAP services that we receive.
WHAT CAN BE DONE AT HOME TO PREPARE FOR THE TEST?
- Ensure that your child gets to bed early each night and gets plenty of rest.
- Have your child eat breakfast each morning before school. If you plan to get lunch at school, make sure your student arrives early enough to get food and eat it. Gates open each morning at 8:35 so kids can get breakfast.
- Please have your child come to school on time. Once the test has started, students will not be allowed to enter the classroom. Students will have to take the test on a make-up day, pulling them from their regular classroom instruction.
- Avoid removing your child from school during their testing time for appointments. Studies have shown that students perform better when they can test in their regular classroom. Make-up testing is conducted in an alternate setting by a staff member who is not your child's teacher.
