Important Dates to Note
State & District Testing:
I will always communicate important information and specific dates regarding State and District mandated testing schedules as soon as they become available to me.
Though typically, 6th grade families can expect:
(4) i-Ready Diagnostics around September, November, March, and May to measure growth in Reading and Mathematics
California State Testing (CAASPP/SBAC) around April/May to measure annual growth toward CA Common Core State Standards for ELA and Math
District Benchmark assessments 3 times throughout the year to assess narrative, informational, and opinion writing skills
Middle school math placement testing (MDTP) around mid-May to assess readiness levels (note: this is the only assessment families may opt out of; more information will be provided closer to the date)
Please refer to the Milpitas Unified School District Calendar for the 2025-2026 School Year to note any & all district-observed holidays, minimum days, and holiday breaks ahead of time to plan family vacations/travel times accordingly.
