Good Afternoon CSUS Families and Caregivers,
We hope you are having a good week! A reminder that our MCAS exams begin tomorrow, Wednesday, April 9 for scholars in all grades; please ensure your child brings their charged chromebook to school tomorrow and remember that tomorrow, like every day, phones and tech will be collected at the start of each day. If scholars are not comfortable turning in devices they may be left at home.
Please support your child at home with the same message that we are giving at school: this test will measure skills that are important in your continuing academic development and will celebrate the growth you made this year. Your classwork
has prepared you for success, and we believe in you!
Please see below for information about upcoming MCAS exams, weekly homework, Scholar Artist of the Week, and important dates at CSUS.
