ELPAC Testing

Students who are designated English Language Learners will be tested with the English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC). These assessments are important in helping us determine appropriate supports and classes for students. All students who are designated as an English Language Learner must take this assessment.

We are scheduled to administer the ELPAC in the spring on April 17th and April 18th, 2023. Students will receive further information as we get closer to testing date. If you have any questions regarding the ELPAC, please contact Lara Rhoads, EL Coordinator (lara.rhoads@sduhsd.net), Vanessa McPherson, EL Counselor (vanessa.mcpherson@sduhsd.net) or Brianna Castellanos, Assistant Principal (brianna.castellanos@sduhsd.net). Please see the linked powerpoint from last year for further information.

STAR ASSESSMENT

The Star Reading and Star Math are both short, low stakes, computer adaptive, academic assessments. They help teachers better understand what students know and can do in the areas of reading and math. Teachers use this information to guide their instruction. All students in grades 7-12 take this assessment in either their English and/or Math class.

PFT: Physical Fitness Testing

The physical fitness test (PFT) for students in California schools is the FITNESSGRAM®. The main goal of the test is to help students in starting life-long habits of regular physical activity. Students in grades five, seven, and nine take the fitness test. The test has six parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents.
