On April 28th Pastor Markus Watson and 21 volunteers from Northminster Presbyterian Church came to CPMA and donated their time to help beautify our campus. We're very pleased and grateful for the work that was contributed.
This spring, your child will take several very important tests at school as part of the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program. STAR results help us monitor your child’s achievement and, along with other information, help teachers make decisions about each student’s academic needs. The STAR results are also used by the state to calculate the Academic Performance Index (API) that determines whether schools in California are making progress in improving student achievement. In addition, STAR results are used to determine whether schools and districts are making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001.
Students in Grades 6 through 8 will be tested on the California Standards Tests (CSTs), which measure how well students are meeting state standards in English language arts and mathematics. Students in Grade 8 will also be assessed on state history/social science standards and students in Grade 8 will be assessed on state science standards. Students in Grade 7 will take a Writing Standards Test where they will write an essay.
Please talk to your children about how important it is to be at school and prepared to do as well as possible on all of the state tests. Encourage them to take their time to do their absolute best.
SCAMP Camp is a unique combination of outdoor fun and asthma education. Thanks to round-the-clock medical supervision, parents can rest easy while their children have a great time! Experienced medical staff are on hand 24 hours a day to make sure that each child receives appropriate treatment for his or her asthma. The medical volunteers include registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and doctors who specialize in asthma and allergies. To be accepted to SCAMP Camp, the family must complete an application before the deadline (May 27). A portion of the application must also be completed by the child’s healthcare provider. Fees are variable according to family size and income and include all meals, transportation, and medical care.)
