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 computer-adaptive, allowing more precise measurement of individual skills.  \nThis year, your child will take the following tests:  \n● Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for ELA and Mathematics (April 25th-May 10th)  \nSmarter Balanced Assessments  \nThe 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 offacts. 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.  \nTo learn more about these tests, please visit CDE’s Test Score Guide Web site at [http://www.testscoreguide.org/ca](http://www.testscoreguide.org/ca), which provides informative guides and test score descriptions as well as sample test items at different levels of difficulty. Another great resource is the Practice and Training Tests, which can be found on the CDE’s Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests Web page at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp. Here)[.](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp. Here)[ Here](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp. Here), parents can experience the kinds of questions that students will encounter on the tests.  \nIf you have any questions regarding your child’s participation in statewide assessments, please contact the Assistant Principal’s Secretary, Lisa Graciano at [lisa.graciano@sduhsd.net](lisa.graciano@sduhsd.net) .  \nMary Anne Nuskin  \nPrincipal  \nCanyon Crest Academy • Carmel Valley MS • Diegueño MS • Earl Warren MS • La Costa Canyon HS  \nOak Crest MS • Pacific Trails MS • San Dieguito HS Academy • Sunset HS • Torrey Pines HS","cbCaiqPSpQNq2O1j","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqPSpQNq2O1j","pdf",124656,"English","# Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments\n## Test overview and purpose\n## This year’s testing schedule\n## Where to learn more and sample items\n## Contact for questions","[{\"question\":\"What is CAASPP and what does it measure for 7th graders?\",\"answer\":\"CAASPP is California’s statewide assessment system.
