CAASPP Testing Begins for 3rd, 4th, 5th Graders on May 9th!
Helpful prep for testing:
- Review the links below to know more about the test.
- Sit down with your student for 15 minutes and "practice" with them to get a feel as to how the test looks and feels so that you can have engaging conversations with them. We have been practicing at school, but your knowledge of how the test looks and feels is helpful.
- Get a good night's rest before a test.
- Get up a little early so the students do not feel rushed to get to school.
- Maintain a solid routine in the morning that includes a good, healthy breakfast.
