Want to help our kids? It s easy. Our school can receive up to $10,000 in Target GiftCards for books or any supplies we need. Wouldn t that be great? All we need to do is vote for our school each week until September 8. It s part of Give With Target . For every 25 votes our school receives, Target will send a $25 gift card. Find out more and vote at Facebook.com/Target. I am a PT A member and my child is a 1st grade

I think that this is a great school and I feel priviledged that my child attends this school. My child is doing better than I ever thought and she loves to go to school, I can't even convice her to stay home when she is sick. By far this school is great, and the parent participation is great, compared to when I went to grade school and there was basicaly no parent participation. Thank you for doing a great job. Teachers don't get the credit they deserve for teaching the future leaders of the U.S., without good teachers, our future generations are bound to fail in certain aspects of their life from not getting the proper education with teachers who enjoy their jobs and actually do care about the students, especially when the class sizes are smaller for better one on one help.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
