There are two parts to the test-English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. This year, Pine Valley is administering the ELA portions to all students in their CORE class during the week of April 18th-22nd. Then during the next week, April 25th-29th all students will take the math portion of the tests during their math classes. For more information on CAASPP please see the SRVUSD web page.  \nThere is also a Science portion of the exam (called CAST) . The state of California requires that all eighth graders also take CAST. At Pine Valley this will take place in science classes on May 4th-6th.  \nQ: How will my student take the exam?  \nA: CAASPP is administered via a specialized, secure portal. Students are REQUIRED to use their SRVUSD Chromebook. Personal devices are not permitted because district Chromebooks are configured to use the tools that support these tests.  \nQ: What is the purpose of CAASPP and CAST?  \nA: These tests help teachers, students, caregivers, schools, and the district understand what grade level academic standards students have mastered and which ones are areas of growth. Each student 's test result helps SRVUSD 's instructional staff plan and organize the classroom instructional program. It is important that each student takes the exam and tries their best. Please note these assessments are not a requirement for high school graduation, or for college admissions,  \nQ: How can I help my student prepare for CAASPP?  \nA: Ensure that your student’s SRVUSD issued Chromebook is charged and rebooted (turned off/on) before arriving at school. Remind your student that this is just one snapshot of many multiple measures which helps to assess their overall academic progress, but that it alone does not define them as a whole person, or their  \nSan Ramon Valley Unified School District .
