Happy Spring Jack London Families! This coming month we are getting ready to do our annual California Assessment of Student Progress and Performance (CAASPP) testing for grades third thru sixth. During the testing window, April 9th-April 26th, our whole school is working together to support all of our students that are testing on different days. Some of the ways we are working together are: lower grade classes are making good luck notes for each of their upper-grade buddy class, support staff, Program Assistants and office staff are writing encouraging notes to students, student advisors are making encouraging posters around the school, student incentives for testing grades to be on time and at school, breakfast for all students on the day they are testing and everyone encouraging all students every time they see each other! Each class will test for 4 days (5th grade will test for 5 days because of taking a science test as well) and these days are spread out throughout the month. Please see the testing schedule below. If your child is in 3rd thru 6th grade, please be sure to have them at school and on time on their testing day. Also, please keep your child at school all day on the testing days and make sure that they have a good night sleep the night before. We are going to do AWESOME on the test and show our community how much we have learned and have grown throughout the school year!
At the end of the month, April 29th-May 3rd, we are having a week long Fine Arts Week! During Fine Arts Week each classroom studies an artist and produces an artwork representative of their artist. The artwork will be displayed in the library at our Open House on May 9th. Let’s have a great month and hope for a lot of sunny weather!
