NPA Family Update
March 28, 2022
Greetings NPA Families!
We have two sets of mandated academic tests coming up in the month of April: The CA Assessment of Student Progress and Performance (CAASPP) for the juniors (class of 2023) and the California Science Test (CAST) for seniors (class of 2022). These tests are important for our school and have benefits for our students as well. Principal Hughes will be communicating details about the importance of the test and how we are impacted soon.
