Parents should be aware that Bartlett school will begin state testing soon. Our 8th graders will be taking the California Science Test between April 15 and April 26th. During this time our 7th and 8th grade English Learners will be taking the English Language Proficiency Assessment for California. The California Science Test or CAST will measure the students' knowledge in the new science standards and the English Language Proficiency Test for California will measure their growth in English. Between April 30 and May 24, all students will be taking the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress which will measure their growth in English Language Arts and Math. Parents can help by making sure that all students get plenty of sleep and attend school every day during the testing weeks. Parents can also help by encouraging their students to do their best on the test and impressing upon them the importance of doing well since important decisions are made about each student's education based on their test scores. Please feel free to call Mr. Gomez at 782.7100 if you have any questions or concerns related to testing.
