CAASPP/SBAC
April 9, 2021
Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):
This letter is providing an update to the spring state assessment known as the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) for students in grades 3-8 and 11. Our district has been informed that
we will be able to use local assessments in place of the CAASPP for ELA and Math.
San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) will move forward with using the following tests:
*STAR ELA and Math - grades 3-8 and grade 11
Because SBCUSD remains in distance learning, students will be taking these assessments remotely. Please
support your student by using the following guidelines for testing:
1. You may assist your child with setting up the technology used to enter the test session.
2. To keep the test fair for all students, we ask that you do not talk about the questions on the test or any
materials for the test with anyone before, during, or after the test.
3. No one may record the test, or use a camera or another device to take pictures of the test questions or of
your child taking the test. This helps to keep the questions confidential.
4. Please follow all instructions given by the test administrator or examiner to place the camera where your
child and the child’s immediate surroundings can be observed.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s school for more information.
Sincerely,
Ana M. Applegate MA Michelle Cleveland MA
