State testing continues in English classes this week.
- This year Redwood students in grade 6, 7 and 8 will participate in testing through their individual English and Math class periods. There is no special schedule for state testing. Classes will take place as normal.
- Each test has been assigned a week during which your English or Math teacher will test students during the normal class period. Each test is untimed and students may pause and resume progress as needed over the course of the testing window. We are utilizing this schedule because it provides shorter testing sessions in order to support student individual focus and attention.

Thank you for giving your best effort on this year's CAASPP testing!
