Each spring, students will participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).

This year, your child will take the following test(s), depending on grade level.

Subject	Grade	Dates
Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment in English Language Arts	~~6, 7, 8~~	~~May 6 - May 10~~
Smarter Balanced California Science Test	~~8 only~~	~~May 13 - May 17~~
Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment in Math	6, 7, 8	May 20 - May 24

The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments are online tests that measure what your child knows and is able to do. The tests include many different types of questions that allow students to interact with the test questions. Results help identify gaps in knowledge or skills early on so your child can get the support needed to be successful in school.

How can I help my child get ready for the CAASPP?

You are an important part of your child's education. Some things your can do to help your child are:

Talk about the test with your child. Make sure they are not scared or anxious.
Tell your child that you and their teacher have high expectations and that you are both there to help, every step of the way.
Take a practice test with your child.
Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a nutritious breakfast before testing.

You can look at sample test questions on the practice tests, which can be found on the CAASPP Web Portal:
