| Principal's Message |
Dear Cheetah Community,
We are now in the final trimester of the year! All of the teachers, staff, and students have been working so hard, and we look forward to an amazing end of the year, filled with learning, fun, and for 3rd-5th grades, a chance to show what they know on the state tests. Thank you for everything that you do to support your students at home. Go, Team Theuerkauf!
CAASPP Testing
Statewide testing is almost upon us. It is very important that all 3rd-5th graders are present for testing. Not only is this an opportunity for students to demonstrate their understanding of grade-level content, but the data also helps us to improve our instruction and plan for intervention. Please ensure that your child is present on testing days (see below) and avoid scheduling appointments during the testing block (8:30-10:10am). Thank you!
Week of April 14th - Practicing and becoming comfortable with the test
Week of April 21st - ELA Testing
Week of April 28th - Math Testing
Week of May 5th - Science Testing for 5th grade only

Spanish language translation will be available as usual.
