3-8th Grade ONLY- TK-2nd Grade and Blended Middle School families can ignore this message!

CAASPP testing will begin in April. Please sign up early to get spots that work with your schedule. PRSD will be conducting in person testing only. These assessments help us monitor what our students have learned throughout the year. They also help us to see if there are areas in our curriculum or program that we need to improve upon. The state of California uses these assessments to make sure our students are working toward grade level standards. All third through eighth grade students are required to take four assessments- two each in Math and Language Arts. Also, fifth and eighth graders need to take a Science assessment. Monday, April 20 the Arete Resource Center will be open for testing only. Monday, April 13, Room 1 will be for CAASP Testing and Room 2 will be for the Hybrid 4-8th grade students. The Blended Middle School will test during their time on campus, so please DO NOT sign them up for any slots. The Resource Center will run as normal all of the other days. Some students may not complete their testing in this allotted amount of time so we will have some make up times at the end of testing.

Reminder to bring a charges chrome book if you have one checked out to you, a water bottle, healthy snack and extra work to complete or a book if you get done early!

We are so excited to offer a new round of field trips. Please pay attention to age restrictions. All field trips meet at the location and parents drive/carpool with their children. An Arete teacher will meet you there. Please watch dates closely and make note of the field trips that require prepayment for adult chaperones. Please pay 2 weeks early in the Arete office with exact cash, check made to PRSD, or at Mealtime https://www.mymealtime.com/ ($20 minimum). We pre-pay for all Arete students so if you need to cancel with less than a week's notice, you will need to reimburse Arete for the field trip fee for your child. All field trips will start at the field trip location with check in 15 minutes before the start time. Families are responsible for making transportation arrangements for their children. Families typically join the field trip. Please email at [email protected] if you need to drop off and pick up your child.
By signing up for a field trip, you agree that we can share your email with Ashley Patch, our field trip coordinator, so that she can send you a reminder one month before the field trip.
