In addition to California state-mandated assessments in the CAASPP, PCHS has selected and developed other assessments designed to provide students, parents/guardians, and the school with feedback on student performance. The school uses the results of these assessments to make adjustments to the instructional program to ensure that students are adequately prepared for  success in college and careers. These assessments may include department-created writing  prompts, department-created multiple-choice assessments, computer-based assessments, and  third-party standardized assessments. The selection and development of the PCHS assessments is  a local decision made by the PCHS instructional departments. Careful consideration is given to  the purpose of these assessments, the usefulness of the results, and the instructional time  necessary for the administration of the tests. The administration and testing personnel determine  the assessment dates and bell schedule.   \n There are no grades associated with any assessment in the CAASPP program. However,  PCHS-developed or selected assessments are often graded, and students who do not participate  in PCHS-selected or developed assessments may receive a grade indicating lack of participation  and may lose opportunities to participate in optional school activities or academic honor  federations and societies.   \n All students must fully participate in PCHS assessments in their 9th-, 10th-and 11th-grade  years to be eligible to participate in optional activities such as senior activities, school  extracurricular activities, school athletics, and academic honor federations and societies.  Students who clearly disregard an assessment as determined by the testing coordinator or test  proctor will be regarded as having refused to comply with the testing requirement and may be   subject to loss of senior activities, school extracurricular activities, school athletics, and  academic honor federations and societies. For example: If the student does not complete the  English writing assessment in the 9th grade, he/she/they may be ineligible for student activities  during his/her/their 10th-grade year. Eligibility will be reinstated for the 11th-grade year if the  student sits for all assessments in his/her/their 10th-grade year. For information about this policy,  contact the Director of Academic Achievement.   \n Per California Education Code 60615, parents and guardians have the right to exempt their  child from participating in the CAASPP program. California Education Code 60615 reads as  follows: “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a parent's or guardian's written request to school  officials to excuse his or her child from any or all parts of the assessments administered pursuant to this  chapter shall be granted.”   \n California Education Code 60615 applies only to state-mandated assessments in the CAASPP  program. The CAASPP program includes the grade 11 Smarter Balanced Assessments in ELA and Mathematics, CAASPP interim assessments, and the California Science Test. Students not participating in the CAASPP program are expected to be in attendance at school during the testing periods each day, and they will be required to complete an alternative school assessment during these periods.  \nPresented: January 24, 2023 Approved:","cbCaireMq86t25t6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaireMq86t25t6","pdf",147758,"English","# CAASPP and Additional Assessments\n## Purpose and Local Selection\n## Types of Assessments\n# Grading and Eligibility Impacts\n## No Grades in CAASPP\n## Graded Local Assessments\n## Participation Requirements for Grades 9–11\n# Refusal to Comply and Consequences\n# Parent/Guardian Exemption Rights (Education Code 60615)\n## Scope of the Exemption\n## Attendance and Alternative Assessments","[{\"question\":\"Does CAASPP participation have grades attached?\",\"answer\":\"No. There are no grades associated with any assessment in the CAASPP program.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens if a student does not participate in PCHS-selected or developed assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Those assessments are often graded, and students who do not participate may receive a grade indicating lack of participation and may lose opportunities to join optional school activities or academic honor federations and societies.\"},{\"question\":\"Can parents or guardians exempt a child from CAASPP assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
