Parents   &  Students,    California’s  academic  standards—the  things  we  want  students  to  know  and  be  able  to  do—are  designed  so  students  graduate  ready  for  college  and  a career. One way we measure their progress is  through  the  California  Assessment  of  Student  Performance  and  Progress  (CAASPP)  assessments.  Students  across  California  in  grades  3–8  and  high school take these assessments each spring. These  tests  were  created  specifically to gauge each student’s performance in English language arts/literacy  (ELA),  mathematics,  and  science.  These  tests  measure  the  skills  called  for  by  the  academic  standards,   including   the   ability   to   write   clearly,   think   critically,   and   solve   problems.    Because  CAASPP  tests  are  given  statewide,  they provide an opportunity to measure the skills of all  students  against  the  same  academic  standards.  Given  online,  the  tests  are  computer­adaptive,  allowing   more   precise   measurement   of   individual   skills.    This   year,   your   child   will   take   the   following   tests:  ● Grade   8:   The   California   Science   Test   (CAST)   ­  Pilot   Test   (no   scores   provided)  ● Grade   6,   7,   8:   Smarter   Balanced   Summative   Assessments   (SBAC)   for   ELA   and   mathematics     Grade   8  California   Science   Test—Pilot   Test   May   4­5th  California’s  new  state  standards  for  science  call  for  students  to  think  and  work  like  scientists  and  engineers—asking  questions  and  learning  through  hands­on  investigation  and  discovery.  Working  with  science  teachers, California is developing a new assessment that emphasizes scientific thinking  and  reasoning.  This  year  your  child  will  participate  in  the  tryout  of  test  items  for  this  future  assessment.  While  this  tryout  will  not  provide  scores  for  you  child,  it  is  an  important  first  step  in  developing  an  assessment  that  will  fairly  and  accurately measure how students are achieving on the  new  science standards. For additional information about the new science tests and sample questions,  please   visit   the   CDE’s   CAASPP   Science   Assessment   Web   page   at  h  ttps://goo.gl/5XP53I .     Grade   6,   7,   8  Smarter   Balanced   Assessments   May   8­12th  The  Smarter  Balanced  ELA  and  mathematics  tests  reflect  California’s  rigorous  academic standards  and  allow  students  to  demonstrate  analytical  writing  and  critical  thinking  skills,  as  well  as  their  knowledge  of  facts.  In  2017,  parents  will  be  able  to  compare  results  across   three  years  (2014–15,  2015–16,   and   2016–17)   to   determine   their   child’s   progress   in   meeting   the   standards.    To  learn  more  about  these  tests,  please  visit  CDE’s  Test  Score  Guide  Web  site  at  https://goo.gl/7EB9hj ,  which  provides  informative  guides  and  test  score  descriptions  as  well  as  sample   test   items   at   different   levels   of   difficulty.     Other  great  resources are the Practice and Training Tests, which can be found on the CDE’s Smarter  Balanced  Practice  and  Training  Tests  Web  page  at   https://goo.gl/EjDRg1 .   Here,  parents  can  experience   the   kinds   of   questions   that   students   will   encounter   on   the   tests.     Principal:   Jarrett   Dooley   |   Assistant   Principal:   Javier   Gutierrez  600   Church   Street    |   Half   Moon   Bay,   CA   94019    |   (650)   712­7190   |  C   unha.SchoolLoop.com
