CALIFORNIA ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS (CAASPP) TESTING FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS

This week, Clairemont will be engaging in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). CAASPP is a system intended to provide information that can be used to monitor student progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career. CAASPP includes computer adaptive tests in English language arts, mathematics, and science. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week, we will be administering the CAASPP test to CHS Juniors and Seniors (Seniors will only need to take the CAST Science Test). Please see below for information regarding the CAASPP as well as an FAQ document that is designed to answer any questions you may have about the assessment.

FOR STUDENTS TAKING CLASSES THROUGH MESA COLLEGE NEXT YEAR

Dear CHS Students and Families:

During the course request process for the 2022-2023 school year, your student requested to enroll in a college course that is offered on the high school campus through the College, Career and Access Pathways (CCAP) program in partnership with the San Diego Community Colleges.

We are holding a CCAP Parent/Guardian and Student orientation for all students who may be enrolled in a CCAP college course next year. This is a mandatory meeting for students and parents/guardians to attend to learn about the expectations of participating in CCAP and the process for completing enrollment. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

The SDUSD College, Career and Technical Education Department in collaboration with San Diego Community College District will present important information about the CCAP Dual Enrollment program and resources for success. Your school CCAP Counselor Liaison will also be in attendance to answer questions.

Date: April 19th

Time: 5PM-6PM

Location: Zoom: https://sandiegounified.zoom.us/j/84037778566

All students MUST view the presentation, complete the Student and Parent Acknowledgement and complete all enrollment steps to request a dual enrollment course for next school year. If you have any questions about this informational session or Mesa classes in general, please reach out to your counselor.

We look forward to you joining the session!
