Your child’s teacher uses report card grades, classroom work, teacher observations, and end-of-year statewide test results to get a complete picture of your child’s learning.  \nWho takes these tests?  \nAll students in grades 3–8 and 11 will take the state tests in English language arts and math. These tests are called the Smarter Balanced summative assessments.  \nWhy do students take these tests?  \nThe 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.  \nWhen do students take these tests?  \nEach school selects its own testing window in the spring. You will receive additional information from your school about the specific dates and times of testing.  \nHow do students take these tests?  \nThese tests are taken on a computer which allows your child to interact with questions in a variety of ways. For example, in math, your child might be asked to drag and drop things from one place on the screen to another or draw a graph to solve a problem.  \nWhat resources are available?  \nYour child will have access to resources they need when taking the test, like a calculator in grades 6–8 and 11, a glossary, or a highlighter. These resources help your child better access the test and do not affect the scores in any way. You can talk to your child’s teacher about other available resources that may help your child.  \nHow can I help my child?  \n■ Remind your child that you and their teacher want them to try their best and that you are thereto help them every step of the way.  \n■ Visit the Starting Smarter website at [https://ca.startingsmarter.org](https://ca.startingsmarter.org) to better understand Student Score Reports, review sample questions, and access resources to support your child’s learning.  \n■ Take a practice test with your child at  \n[https://www.caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html](https://www.caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html).  \nFor more information about your child’s scores, contact your child’s teacher and/or the school office.","cbCain7PXzeGsRhi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain7PXzeGsRhi","pdf",140344,"English","# Who Takes These Tests?\n# Why Students Take These Tests\n# When Students Take These Tests\n# How Students Take These Tests\n# What Resources Are Available\n# How Parents Can Help Their Child","[{\"question\":\"Who takes the Smarter Balanced summative assessments?\",\"answer\":\"All students in grades 3–8 and 11 take state tests in English language arts and math.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are students taking these tests?\",\"answer\":\"The results show where a child is doing well and where additional help may be needed, supporting both learning at home and instruction in the classroom.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students take the tests and what resources are available?\",\"answer\":\"The tests are taken on a computer with interactive question formats.
