A Healthy Finish for CST

The California Standards Tests are almost over for this year. Part of California's STAR testing program, the CST are based on the grade level standards which students have been learning all year long.

The California Department of Education (CDE) releases some questions each year for students, parents and teachers to use in preparation for the tests.

This site is designed for parents: http://www.starsamplequestions.org
and this site has additional parent guides: www.starsamplequestions.org/information.html

On Thursday, May 6, most testing will be complete except for a few make up tests.

The results from the tests won't be available until mid-August. In a few days there will be "new" school rankings published, but they are based on the assessments that we took last year.

Thank you for your hard work in reducing "tardies" and sending your students ready for testing.

Sprouts Farmers Market pitched in this week to provide 800 nutritious snacks for our students during testing. The next time you go to Sprouts on Allesandro, tell the manager that you appreciate his support of Emerson during testing.
