Upcoming Events
As the coordinator of the state mandated physical fitness test I can tell you that the 6th grade students have been preparing to take this test since the beginning of the year. Initial testing is underway in March and will continue through April. They will be tested on the mile run, push-ups, sit-ups, trunk lift, flexibility and their weight and height will also be recorded. Students can practice these exercises at home. Students can win award certificates for being physically fit.
State Testing: The California Standards Test (CST) will no longer be taken by students. The new testing system is called Smarter Balanced and students will take it this year. The window for testing will be March-April. This test will let students demonstrate what they have learned during the year. Students are being prepared on a daily basis to achieve the best possible scores on this test. Students should also prepare themselves by doing their homework, studying diligently, reading avidly and coming to school rested, well fed and prepared.
