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.
