What to Do on a Test Day
Make sure your child comes to school on time, well rested and having eaten a good breakfast.
If your child is absent the day of a test, check if a make-up test day is available.
Periodic Assessments
Periodic Assessments are tests mandated by LAUSD. They are standards-based and aligned to grade-level, content-specific instructional guides. They are designed to
- guide and focus professional development and instruction
- identify areas for re-teaching and/or intervention
- familiarize students with the content and format of tests such as the California Standards Test
