Students in grades three through five will also be participating in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) The first week of May! This year, students will take the following test(s) between May 2nd - May 19th.

How can I help my child get ready for the CAASPP?

You are an important part of your child’s education. Some things you can do to help your child are:

• Talk about the test with your child. Make sure they are not scared or anxious.

• Tell your child that you and his or her teacher have high expectations and that you are both there to help, every step of the way.

• Take a practice test with your child.

• Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast before testing.

Memorial Day is a day dedicated to the service of men and women who have given their lives for our freedom and our country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. The roots of Memorial Day observance goes back to 1865 and the end of the Civil Wear. Memorial Day is traditionally commemorated by attending a parade or visiting a cemetery to remember and honor our fallen service members.

There will be no school Monday, May 29, 2023 in honor of Memorial Day.

5 Facts To Know About AAPI Heritage Month History:

• According to the 2020 Census, there are 24 million people in the United States who fall under the umbrella of AAPI, and the Pew Research Center has found that Asian Americans are the fastest-growing ethnic group in America.
• Lawmakers chose May because of its historical significance for the AAPI community. It commemorates the immigration of the first Japanese people to the United States, as well as Golden Spike Day (May 10, 1869), which marked the completion of the transcontinental railroad, largely built by Chinese laborers.
• Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month was able to exist due to the traction from the civil rights movement in the 70s; they were able to find momentum because of Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.
• Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month was originally a week; it was President Jimmy Carter who signed it into law in 1978 designating a week to celebrate the AAPI community.
• President George H. W. Bush signed a bill in 1990 that extended the week into the full month and President Barack Obama changed the name to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in 2009.
