March 27th, 2015 Dear Foothill High School 11th Grade Students and Parents/Guardians: This year, California public schools are moving to new end-of-year assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, known as the Smarter Balanced Assessments. The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) has replaced the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program as the new state academic testing program. CAASPP is a system intended to provide information that can be used to monitor student progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career. CAASPP includes the Smarter Balanced Assessment computer adaptive tests in ELA and Math for students in grades 3-8 and 11. These assessments are focused on the Common Core State Standards. CAASPP will also include paper-based tests for science in grades 5, 8 and 10. Foothill High School will be administering the SBAC Tests to all 11th grade students from May 18-May 29, 2015. Our school testing schedule will be as follows. To accommodate the hours of testing required, block scheduling will be used on certain days. Please note that during the first week of SBAC testing, our Collaboration schedule will be moved to Monday May 18 instead of Wednesday May 20 : PT = Performance Task CAT= Computer Adaptive Test |
