State Testing Hints for 3rd to 5th Grade Students

State Testing to begin

Over the next few weeks, students in the upper grades will begin taking the California Assessments of Student Progress and Proficiency (CAASPP). Here are some important guidelines to help your child be successful:

  • Schedule any routine doctor and dental appointments after school or in June when school is over.

  • Make travel plans for the summer, not when school is in session

  • Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep.

  • Provide a healthy breakfast and send a snack with them to school.

  • Encourage your child to “do their best” but do not put any undue pressure on them

None of our students have ever taken this assessment before due to it being canceled because of the pandemic. Teachers are working with students to ensure that they are as prepared as possible and to put the least amount of stress about the tests on them.
