CAASPP Assessment Preparation
November 30, 2020
Dear CAL Families,
We hope that you had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday Break!
As a reminder, this week is our virtual Trimester 1 Parent-Teacher Conferences. Be sure to
attend your scheduled appointment with your child’s teacher to learn more about your child’s
current progress. Trimester 1 Report Cards were mailed home to you on November 20
th
.
We have been working really hard this year and we will be taking our Benchmark Assessments
this week! Here are some suggestions of things you can do to help your child prepare:
● SLEEP
Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep. This will help them to be alert and better
focused.
● BREAKFAST
Please make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast before logging into their Zoom
class.
● ENCOURAGEMENT
Please encourage your child to do their best! Do not assist your child with taking their
Benchmark Assessment or provide them with answers. It is important that your child
does their own work to help us best monitor their current progress.
● INSTRUCTIONS
We are very proud of what CAL Explorers have been learning and accomplishing so far
this year. Please have your child to follow their teacher’s instructions for taking their
Benchmark Assessments. If you have any questions or have any tech issues, be sure to
contact your child’s teacher.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
The CAL School Team
