Testing Starts this Week

6th Grade will be the only grade level testing this week.

  • Monday and Tuesday: ELA
  • Wednesday and Thursday: Math

End Of Year Testing

Our students will be participating in End-of-Year testing starting this week and continuing throughout the quarter.  Below is the most current schedule which contains all grade levels and the assessments that they will be taking.  Most assessments will be given in the morning on the days listed.  Local Measures are district-level assessments to show growth (TK-6th) and CAASPP (Grades 3-6) are state-wide assessments.

Local Measures consist of Smarty Ants (Grades TK-2), Level Set (Grades 2-6), and iReady Diagnostic (Grades TK-6).  These are similar to what students have taken this year at both the beginning and mid-year.

CAASPP was last administered in the 2018-2019 school year, as they have been canceled the last two years due to COVID closures. This year, it is our understanding the CAASPP will be about half of the length that it was previously.  If you would like to see the types of questions that might be asked, you can visit www.caaspp.org and view the practice tests per grade level.  Grades 3-6 will be tested in Language Arts and Math.  Fifth grade will also be assessed in Science.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher or to me at cynthia.orr@cvesd.org.
