Dear RISE Families and Stakeholders,
There are many ways to measure your student’s learning at RISE HS and a primary tool that school districts use to measure student’s progress each year is through the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). This statewide test helps us determine whether students have acquired skills in Math, English Language Arts, and Science for specific grade levels. Please be advised that all 11th grade students will take the following CAASPP tests, depending on their grade level:
- Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for English Language Arts and Math – Required in 11th grade
- California Science Test (CAST) – Required in 12th grade
- CA Fitness Test- Required in 9th grade
This year, our state testing will take place during in-person instruction and scheduled Monday, May 2nd through Friday, May 29th. We ask that students do all in their efforts to be present on their scheduled school days. Students that are absent during the month of May will be invited to join our Friday academic make-up days on site from 9am – 12pm. We encourage students to come on site to complete testing on Friday so they can use their scheduled school days for making progress in their courses. Should you have any questions regarding our CAASPP Testing Plan, please do not hesitate to reach out to your site administrator with any questions.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your student’s education.
Sincerely,
Erin Whalen, M. Ed.
Executive Director
