CAASPP Testing

Each spring, 11th-grade students participate in the California Science Test (CAST) and the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). The computer-based tests measure what your student knows and can do, and students can use the results from the CAASPP ELA and Math tests to qualify for exemptions on CSU and Community College placement tests so that they are able to move directly into college-level courses upon enrollment. Successful completion of the CAASPP tests is also required for students to graduate College & Career Ready, to earn the State Seal of Biliteracy, and to earn the Golden State Seal Merit Diploma.

Practice and training tests can be found by following this link.
For more information, please see

Artist of the Week

Alice Vaughn & Allison Hackett achieved a momentous animation based by the game Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from the scene where Zelda turns into a dragon. With original puppets and settings of watercolor painting and moveable fasteners, these talented artists learned the basics of stop motion. They feel proud of how it turned out for their first time doing this. Please see their film at this link:

Free Heart Screening

One in 300 young people have a heart condition that puts them at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, which is also the leading cause of death for student athletes. To support early detection, in collaboration with UC Davis Health, free heart screenings for students and young adults (aged 12-25) will be offered on Sunday, March 22nd at Rio Americano High School. These screenings can help identify potential heart conditions and provide families with valuable peace of mind.

Registration is open now at www.kylejtaylor.org/screenings 4540 American River Drive, Sacramento 95864.
