SUN Bucks California

DPOL Schools families may be eligible for SUN Bucks. This new California program provides  up to $120 per eligible child to help cover the cost of groceries during the summer months.    Most eligible children are considered “streamlined certified” and  do not have to apply for SUN Bucks. Children who receive CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal  (at or under 185% of the FPL)  are automatically enrolled, as well as children who are designated homeless, migrant, foster, or runaway.  However, children who have not been "streamlined certified" may also qualify for SUN Bucks. To check if your child is eligible, pick up a Universal Benefits Application from the District Office. Complete the form and return it to the District office by September 2, 2025. They will evaluate the form and determine if your child is eligible for SUN Bucks based on household income requirements. Applications submitted before Sept. 2, 2025, will make students eligible for both 2025 and 2026 SUN Bucks.  Participating in SUN Bucks does not affect a family's immigration status. If you have questions about SUN Bucks , you can call the SUN Bucks helpline at (877) 328-9677 . The automated system is available 24/7, and live agents are ready to assist you Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Schools can’t help with Sun Bucks questions. To check your benefit balance and claim status, please visit the California EBT cardholder website .    SUN Bucks DPOL Webpage SUN Bucks official page Frequently Asked Questions Other Food Resources

Upcoming CAASPP State Testing

Each year, students participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). Your child will take the following tests, depending on their grade level or instructional program:   Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English language arts and math, required tests in grades 3–8 and 11 California Science Test (CAST), a required test in grades 5 and 8, and once in high school This year, Dos Palos Oro Loma JUSD will give the summative assessments in person.   The testing schedule is listed below: Bernhard Marks Elementary testing is scheduled for May 5th thru 16th.  Bryant Middle School testing is scheduled for May 5th thru 23rd.  Dos Palos High School testing is scheduled for April 7th thru 16th.  George Christian High School testing is scheduled for April 7th thru 16th.  You are an important part of your child’s education. To make sure your child feels comfortable taking tests, you can: Explain to your child that these tests are tools to help them learn, and they should not be anxious or scared. Explore the practice tests with your child at caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html so they can become familiar with the platform and setup of the tests.  Remind your child that you and their teacher want them to try their best and are there to help, every step of the way. You will receive your child’s results at or before the beginning of the next school year. The results will identify where your child is doing well or needs more help, so you can better support their learning at home and teachers can better support their learning in the classroom.   To learn more about these tests, go to the Starting Smarter web page at ca.startingsmarter.org/ , or review the Parent Guides to Understanding at  cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/parentguidetounderstand.asp .    Pursuant to California  Education Code Section 60615, parents/guardians may annually submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all of the CAASPP assessments.   If you have questions, please contact your student’s school site.
