It includes three types of mandated tests:  \nSmarter Balanced Assessments, California Alternate Assessments, and California Science Assessments. The Smarter Balanced Assessments are in English language arts and mathematics.  \n● Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Assessments  \nThe Smarter Balanced computer adaptive assessments are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) . English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics tests are administered in grades three through eight and grade eleven to measure whether students are on track to college and career readiness. In grade eleven, results from the ELA and mathematics assessments can be used as an indicator of college readiness.  \n● California Science Tests (CAST)  \nThe computer-based CAST measures students’ achievement of the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) through the application of their knowledge and skills of the Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts. The CAST is administered to all students in grades five and eight and once in high school (i.e. , grade ten, eleven, or twelve) .  \n● California Alternate Assessments (CAAs)  \nOnly eligible students—students whose individualized education program (IEP) identifies the use of alternate assessments—may participate in the administration of the CAAs. Test examiners administer the computer-based CAAs for ELA, mathematics, and science one-on-one to students. Students in grades three through eight and grade eleven will take the CAA for ELA and mathematics. Test items developed for ELA and mathematics are aligned with the CCSS and are based on the Core Content Connectors.  \nStudents in grades five and eight and once in high school (i.e. , grade ten, eleven, or twelve) will take the CAA for Science. The CAA for Science embedded performance tasks are based on alternate achievement standards derived from the CA NGSS.  \nEnglish Language Proficiency Assessments for California  \nStudents who have a home language survey that lists a language other than English will take the Initial test, which identifies students as an English learner student or as initially fluent in English. Students who are classified as English learner students will take the Summative ELPAC every year until they are reclassified as proficient in English. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. It consists of two separate English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessments: one for the initial identification of students as English learners and the other for the annual summative assessment to identify students’ English language proficiency level and to measure their progress in learning English.  \nPhysical Fitness Test  \nThe physical fitness test for students in California schools is the FitnessGram® . The main goal of the test is to help students in starting lifelong habits of regular physical activity. Students in grades five, seven, and nine take the fitness test.  \nYou are an important part of your child’s education. To make sure your child feels comfortable taking tests, you can:  \n● Explain to your child that these tests are tools to help them learn, and they should not be anxious or scared.  \n● Explore the practice tests with your child at [caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html](caaspp.org/practice-and-training/index.html) so they can become familiar with the platform and setup of the tests.  \n● Remind your child that you and their teacher want them to try their best and are there to help, every step of the way.  \nWhile the district must plan to administer the assessment to all students within the 3rd-8th grade range, parents do have the option of opting out of this standardized testing per California Education Code section 60615.
