It's Time for State Testing!
The state testing window this year is May 6-31. All students grades 3-6 in elementary across California will participate in these tests and it is our students opportunity to show how much they have learned. We're very excited about the progress our Cubs have made in the 23-24 school year!
What to expect: All students will take the English language arts (ELA) and math tests online. Additionally, 5th grade will take a science test. Your child's teacher will notify students and parents of their specific test schedule.
How can you help? We value the partnership with our parent community throughout the school year and hope you can reinforce the following concepts for test preparation at home.
- Come rested, relaxed, and ready
- Eat a good breakfast
- Take your time and stay focused
- Think positive thoughts!
Parents: Please do not schedule any appointments on a test day. If your child comes in late to a testing session, they will not be able to join their class and will have to take the test on a make up day. Please check the schedule your teacher provides for your specific dates.
Need to Pick Up Your Student Early?
When picking up your student early, please come to the office first to sign them out. We will then call your student from class to minimize disruption to the classroom and maximize instructional time for your child.
PLEASE REMEMBER: Our state testing window is May 6-31. We ask that early pick ups be
limited to urgent situations only. Please make appointments after school when possible.
Every time a student is called from the classroom it creates a distraction for other students who are testing. We appreciate your consideration for ALL our Cubs!
