• Please be prepared that students will not have access to their cell phones during testing. Parents should call the school in the event of a family emergency.

• Students may not have cell phones, smart watches, or anything that can access the internet or take a photo in their possession during the test. Personal items must be placed inside their backpacks and place their bags away from their seat during the full duration of the testing period. All items will be returned once the test has ended for that class period. Phones will not be accessible even during a restroom break if the class is still testing.

• Students caught with their phones, electronic device, or other technologies (excluding their Chromebook) may be subject to disciplinary reason. (Students who require technologies for health reasons must notify Mrs. Hurd immediately by emailing at bhurd@rjuhsd.us or by visiting the admin office.)

CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) 

This is the California state exam that is administered to all 11th graders (and those 12th graders who did not take the CAST last year) and includes testing in three areas:

1. SBAC Literacy
2. SBAC Math
3. CAST (California Science Test)

11th Graders - will take the SBAC (Literacy and Math) and the CAST

12th Graders - anyone who did not take the CAST (Science) their 11th grade year are required to take it their 12th grade year

11th graders will receive their schedule on the Monday after we return from Spring Break. A hard-copy schedule will be given to students in their 2nd period classes which will include their test dates, where they test each day, who the teacher is who is proctoring their test, and the room number.

The following Wednesday, 11th grade Advisory teachers will also check in with all students to see if they have any questions about their schedule.

Students may also ask any staff member after Spring Break to look up their schedule at any time should they need a reminder or need assistance.

Seniors who may need to take the Science test will be notified individually by Mrs. Hurd and will work with the student to schedule a date and time that works best for them. Testing for Seniors will take place after Juniors during the Make-Up week, April 24-28.

Any student who misses their test or may need additional time to complete any of their tests may do so during the Make-Up week, April 24-28, in room F307. Students may schedule their make-up test by doing one of the following:

• Email Mrs. Hurd at bhurd@rjuhsd.us
• Stop by F307 in person
• Wait until Mrs. Hurd calls the student out of class to test 

Absolutely!

Scroll through the rotating photos at the top of this page to view the many reasons why the CAASPP test is important to students, the school, and the community. Also view the reasons below:

• Demonstrate proficiency and enter directly into college-level math and language arts by earning a "3" or better. This saves time and money by avoiding remedial classes for anyone earning "2" or lower in each SBAC test. CSU Readiness...
• California Seal of Biliteracy - added to your diploma
  • RJUHSD Poster
  • California Department of Ed Website - detailed explanation
• Earn a Golden State Seal Merit Diploma by earning a "3" or better on the SBAC ELA/Literacy, SBAC Math, and four other areas.
• High test scores mean higher property values in our neighborhoods!

In April 2022, Roseville Joint Union High School District schools administered Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics, and the California Science Test (CAST) for 11th grade students. Additionally, 12th grade students who had not taken the CAST during their high school years were given the CAST.

Student results can now be accessed through Homelink, RJUHSD’s parent portal for our Aeries Student Information System. Once you have logged in:

• Select Test Scores from the menu on the left hand side of the screen

• Within Test Scores, Select State Test Scores Reports for overall performance level on SBAC ELA, SBAC Math, or CAST tests

• From there you will find buttons with links to the various test score reports that are available for your student.

Parents who have selected Do Not Release Records (DNR) options for their student may not be able to access the score reports because student addresses are on the reports. In those cases, you can still see your student’s scores by selecting the Test Scores option and from that screen you may also narrow the results to a particular test using the Limit ID drop down box.

In our district, the test results are just one way to look at how well our students are doing. We use the results to find areas in which students are doing well and areas for growth. It is also important to know that the test results are not used to determine whether a student moves to the next class in a content area.
