Smarter Balanced Field Test Parent and Guardian Notification Letter Template Dear Parent/Guardian: This is an exciting time for everyone at Roosevelt Elementary School. As you may already know, we, along with thousands of schools across California, are participating in a field test of a modern assessment system designed to help shape teaching and learning in the classroom. Known as the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress – or CAASPP – these computer-based tests replace the STAR program. These tests are aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English and math, which California adopted in 2010 to describe what knowledge and skills students need to be well prepared for college and careers, no matter where they come from or where they live. Part of the goal of the field test this year is to determine how well individual questions allow students to demonstrate what they know and still need to learn. We are also taking this opportunity to see how well our technical capabilities meet the demands of computer-based assessments and to see what resources our teachers and school may yet need. Finally and importantly, this year also gives your student an opportunity to try out the new system without consequences. All of this combined means that we will not be capturing scores this year. Instead, we will use what we learn from this field test to help ensure a successful full launch of the system in the 2014-15 school year. Our next step in that transition is to administer the field test to students in 3rd – 5th grades from April 7th – May 2nd. If you want to see what types of questions students will be asked or how the test will be presented, there is a practice test available online at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp. If you would like more information, please visit the California Department of Education Smarter Balanced Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/smarterfieldtest.asp. If you have any questions regarding your child’s participation, please contact your child’s teacher or the main office at Roosevelt School. Sincerely, Dr. Soraya Sablo Sutton Interim Principal Roosevelt Elementary

Dear Parents and Families: Reading is the most important skill you can teach a child. Of all the skills children learn, it is the one you can influence the most. We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives. Our Scholastic Book Fair theme - Book Fair Fiesta: ¡Yo Quiero Libros! ¡Vamos a Leer! (I Want Books! Let's Go Read!) –surrounds students in the celebration of reading with hundreds of fun, engaging, affordable books for them to discover. Giving kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get. Reading is vital to every child’s success, and raising kids as readers means getting involved while they’re young. Now is the time. Since there will never be a substitute for a parent’s direct involvement in his/her child’s education, please make plans to visit our Book Fair. Hope to see you there! Book Fair Dates: Monday, April 7 – Thursday April 10, 2014 Shopping Hours: After School Each Day Special Events: Dad’s Club Dinner and Open House 5:00 – 8:00 pm Before you visit the Book Fair be sure to download the FREE Book Fairs App to help you find the right fit books for your child. For more information, visit: http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/roosevelthornets.
And if you’re all booked up during Book Fair week be sure to visit the Book Fair online through our web page or at scholastic.com/fair. Our Online Fair is available for an extended time from April 1st to April 20th. We look forward to having you participate in our Fair, and remember, all purchases benefit our school. Sincerely, Dr. Soraya Sablo-Sutton Principal

Estimados padres y familiares: Leer es la destreza más importante que uno le puede enseñar a un niño. De todas las destrezas que los niños pueden aprender, esta es la que los padres más pueden ayudar a desarrollar. Los invitamos a visitar nuestra Feria del Libro de Scholastic y disfrutar de una celebración de la lectura que ofrece a las familias la oportunidad de participar en una misión universal: animar a los niños a leer todos los días para que tengan una vida mejor. Nuestra feria, Fiesta de la Feria del Libro: ¡Yo quiero libros! ¡Vamos a leer!, lleva a los estudiantes una verdadera celebración de la lectura con cientos de libros divertidos, atractivos y a precios razonables que ellos podrán descubrir. Brindarles a los niños el acceso a buenos libros y la oportunidad de escoger aquellos que ellos desean leer, los motivará a leer más. Y como todas las habilidades adquiridas, mientras más practiquen la lectura, mejor leerán los niños. Leer es vital para el éxito de cada niño, y educar buenos lectores requiere que los padres estén involucrados en la educación de sus hijos desde que son pequeños. Este es el momento de hacerlo. No hay nada que pueda sustituir el papel de los padres. Por favor, no se pierda nuestra Feria del Libro. ¡Esperamos verlos! Fechas de la Feria del Libro: lunes, 7 de abril a jueves, 10 de abril Horario de compras: Después de escuela cada día Eventos especiales: Durante Open House, 5:00 – 8:00 pm Antes de visitar la Feria del Libro asegúrese de bajar la aplicación GRATIS de la Feria del Libro (Book Fairs App) para que lo ayude a encontrar los libros correctos para su hijo.
