2019 Studio CAHS May Testing

Each spring, students at The Classical Academies participate in the statewide testing program California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System. The test results provide teachers, parents/guardians, and students information about students’ progress and readiness for college and career. The state has cut back drastically on testing, making these few tests extremely important in maintaining our charter and funding. We are asking for 100% PARTICIPATION AND EFFORT as we strive to maintain our high standing in this community, county, and state!

This year we have rolled out new Social Emotional Learning opportunities in your students Cohort. One of those pieces is the adoption of The YouSchool program. These guided, self-reflective conversations with peers and a trained YouSchool Guide (their Cohort teacher), is an opportunity for our students to grow in Self-Awareness, Self-Confidence, and Self-Direction.

A great supplement The YouSchool program provides are great Podcasts that you can choose to listen to with your student(s) to have meaningful conversations at home. We will be sharing with you the Podcasts which align with our monthly topics.

This month the topic is SQUAD. Focusing on building healthy relationships. Take the time to listen to SQUAD with your child, on The YouSchool Podcast. It is a great way to start meaningful conversations and stay connected!

If you have any questions or comments email Laura Hughes, our Lead School Social Emotional Counselor at lhughes@classicalacademy.com

Students may attend the location that’s most convenient for them regardless of where they plan to take classes. We are asking students to complete the online orientation prior to Discover Palomar to ensure they have enough time to select and register for classes while they are here. If they have attended any other colleges/universities or have AP scores with a score of 3 or higher, please encourage them to bring copies.
