A few parents have asked questions about upcoming state testing in the spring. Here is the information I have so far. Remember that it is still early days in the planning and dates may change. I do not have testing times yet. I will continue to update you as information is shared with me.
Who is taking tests and what tests will they be taking?
Smarter Balanced Tests:
• English language arts/literacy and mathematics in grades 3–8 and grade 11
Paper-pencil tests:
• California Standards Tests (CSTs) for Science—grades 5, 8, and 10
Where can we start practicing for these tests?
CAASP Practice Tests

Grade 5 Science
Grade 8 Science
Grade 10 Science
Other ways to get your child ready include:
- Typing practice
- Computer navigation practice
- Reading long stories and other text on a computer or tablet screen
Where and when will my student test?
Jackson - Grace Church
May 3 - 6 (CST and 11th grade SBAC Tuesday, SBAC all grades Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday if needed)
Rescue - Foothills United Methodist Church
April 26 - 29 (CST and 11th grade SBAC Tuesday, SBAC all grades Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday if needed)
Visions is required by the state to have over 95% of its students test, falling under that number endangers the Charter and puts Visions at risk for state compliance monitoring.
