 CAASPP Testing Reminders:

1) Please make sure you send in your testing schedule to Carrie by Feb 26 March 5


2) Please put the overview training and a second training on your site schedules to make sure teachers are prepared for testing


3) Please plan on conducting practice tests for both onsite and remote testing scenarios, as we know that students may be tested in both situations.


4) Update- Champions Students will be testing remotely.  The only Champions students testing on site are taking the California Alternative Assessment. - This will be scheduled in collaboration with the case managers.


Starting on March 1, from  7:30 AM - 8:30 AM, Carrie will have open office hours Monday - Friday, for questions and problem-solving around CAASPP.

Resources for preparing your site for testing:

3-8 CAASPP Practice Assessments in Otus 
In your “Shared with Me” folder in Otus, you will now see CAASPP practice tests for you to use with your students.  This is an optional resource to support you and your students as you prepare for CAASPP. You can still take practice assessments through TOMS. There are benefits of using both practice tests in TOMS and the ones we created in Otus.

The benefit of practice assessments through the actual testing system is students get used to that system. The benefit of practice assessments in Otus is you can see the data of what students got right or wrong and use it as a teaching tool with students.  Watch this video to find out more! Additional support will be provided on March 8 during Optional Monday PD.

This is something helpful to keep in hand for families in need not only during the holidays, but all year long. LiveScan Update The Roseville PD is no longer doing live scans for fingerprinting. Please refer parents to other resources. Fire Marshall Inspection Follow-up was completed with the fire inspector to clarify what each school site needs to have posted. Please review the following and make sure your site is ready to go. In the front office/in safety plan binder- easy to access: - Post the telephone number for the fire department. - List of who does what during a fire emergency. In each room by the door: - Post an evacuation map. - Instructions for what to do in an emergency (how do you account for kids, communicate, etc).

BUSINESS SERVICES Assemblies Involving Animals If you are hosting an assembly at your site that involves animals you may need to have parents sign the SIG Activities Waiver. All assemblies that involve animals on campus should be communicated to parents before the event. This can be done through an email, newsletter, blog, etc. If your students WILL be touching the animals, parents must fill out the SIG Activities Waiver. If your students will NOT be touching animals and will only be looking at the animals from a distance, you do not need to have parents fill out the waiver. Contact Amy Banks or Schelli Landreth with questions. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES LCFF Funds If you are placing any orders using LCFF money, here is a helpful resource to look at when determining if LCFF can be used. When in doubt, always reach out to your coach or Rachael.
