Live Oak Weekly! Live Oak News!

Each year, students in grades three through eight and grade 11 participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), which is a state-mandated, standardized, computer-adapted exam. There are two parts to the test - English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. This year, Live Oak Elementary is administering the English Language Arts and Math portions to all 3rd-5th grade students from April 29 through May 14. For more information on CAASPP please see the SRVUSD web Page.

There is also a Science portion of the exam (called CAST). The state of California requires that all fifth graders also take CAST. At Live Oak Elementary, this will happen during the week of May 5th.

To minimize stress and maximize preparation for your child, please schedule appointments around these dates and ensure they are well-rested.
