Our Pilots in grades 3-5 will take the state CAASPP assessment this year starting May 4th in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. 5th grade students will also take the CAST science test during the last week of our testing window.

We are asking families to please plan in advance to ensure students are here every day and on time through testing.

Families, be on the look out for more information next week! We appreciate your support in helping our students doing their "Best on the Test!"

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are excited to share an important update about elementary mathematics in our district—and an opportunity for you to be involved. TVUSD is beginning the process of selecting a new elementary math curriculum during the 2026-2027 school year and we want your voice to be a part of it.

Over the past two years, many of our elementary teachers have participated in a research-based project using the Bridges in Mathematics, Third Edition curriculum. Through this work, students have engaged in learning aligned to the California Mathematics Standards and the California Math Framework. As a result, we’ve seen growth in students’ understanding of math concepts, problem-solving skills, and overall confidence in mathematics.

Looking Ahead: 2026–2027 Math Curriculum Adoption

As part of California Education Code, school districts are required to pilot instructional materials before adopting a new curriculum. We are now entering the next phase of this process for elementary mathematics with a team of elementary teachers and administrators.

Parent Advisory Committee – We Want Your Voice

We believe family partnership is essential in making the best decisions for our students. In addition to teacher involvement, we are forming a Parent Advisory Committee to provide input and feedback throughout the math pilot process.

As a member of the Parent Advisory Committee, you may:

• Attend informational meetings about the math programs being considered

• Preview sample lessons and materials

• Share feedback on your child’s experience with math learning

• Provide valuable parent perspective to help guide the adoption process

How to Get Involved

If you are interested in serving on the Parent Advisory Committee, please click here to access the Google Form. Form submissions close on April 17th.

Committee members will be selected and notified in April.

We are committed to a process that is thoughtful, transparent, and inclusive of our community. Your voice plays an important role in ensuring we select high-quality instructional materials that support all students.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Warmly,
Elementary Directors of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment
Temecula Valley Unified School District
