State CAASPP Testing for Juniors Only in Math and English Will Occur at the End of March
SLVHS JUNIORS will take this year's State Math and English Tests Online at Home this Year.
The federal government has not given states the waiver opportunity this year and Juniors will take their CAASPP Tests at Home this Spring.
Only Juniors take these tests. SLVHS will proctor the English test on Tuesday, March 30th and the Math Test on Wednesday, March 31st.
The tests this year will be shorter and take less time than the in-school version students normally take.
Students who take the test and meet standards can earn a GRADE BUMP on their 2nd semester Math and/or English Final Grades.
This grade bump will be applied to the Semester Two grade when we receive the test results in August.
State tests taken at home MUST be taken on a school-issued Chromebook due to the test being given on an installed Secure Browser.
Students who currently have a school-issued Chromebook may use that device.
Students without a school-issued Chromebook will be able to pick one up the week before testing. More information to follow.
Parents can choose to opt their child out of state testing. To do so, please email our Dean of Students, Dave Poetzinger at [email protected].
If you have any questions regarding testing, please call the High School Administration Office at 335-4425.
Plans for SLV Secondary Schools to open in a Hybrid Model - Parent/Family Information Meeting on Hybrid Model
Middle School and High Schools can only open when the county is in the Red Tier with 5 to 7 cases per 100,000 population.
SLVUSD plans to offer in-person classes on campus beginning in April 2021 if Santa Cruz County is in the Red Tier.
Parents may choose either SLV Online (only) or SLV Live Hybrid (online & in-person)
There will be an informational Q & A Meeting for Parents and Families with the Superintendent and the Principal online on Wednesday, March 24th at 5:00 pm.
This will be an opportunity to get information and ask questions.
This meeting is designed to provide families with more detail about how the different facets of this Hybrid model will work in real life.
It should also give families the information they need before deciding whether to come back to school part-time or stay online only.
The meeting will be recorded and posted on the school website for those who cannot attend.

Like many theatre programs, SLVHS has suffered a huge hit to our budget due to the inability to sell tickets to live performances during these Covid times. Please consider donating. We need your help and, if you are able, any donation during this time will be instrumental in our efforts to continue to support our students' creative endeavors.
DONATIONS GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED!
You can send donations via PayPal to [email protected].
