Behavior Focus of the Month
We are thrilled to introduce our new monthly behavior focus for May to be “Being Your Best Self”!
At Hedenkamp, we are dedicated to not only academic success but also to fostering the growth of well-rounded individuals who exhibit positive forces in our global community. With “Being Your Best Self,” we aim to empower our students to embrace their unique qualities and strive for personal growth in all aspects of their lives. Throughout this month, our goal is to cultivate a culture of kindness, respect, and self-improvement among our students, both inside and outside the classroom.
We encourage you to join us in this journey by reinforcing the importance of “Being Your Best Self” at home. Together, we can join forces to ensure every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
CAASPP State Testing Starts this Week
End-of-year testing is underway. Click here to read the 2024 CAASPP Letter to CVESD Families from our CVESD Superintendent Dr. Edwardo Reyes. Please make EVERY effort to make sure your child is at school, on-time every day. Students who arrive past 9:00 am will not be able to enter the classroom to begin testing. It is important to not plan vacations or doctors/dentist appointments in the next few weeks. It is important to review the assessment calendar each week, to know which days your child is testing. Your can also reach out to your child’s teacher for more details about your child’s specific testing schedule.

What is CAASPP Testing?
Every year, California students take several statewide tests. When combined with other measures such as grades, class work, and teacher observations, these tests give families and teachers a more complete picture of their child’s learning. You can use the results to identify where your child is doing well and where they might need more support.
Near the end of each school year, students in grade 3 and higher take summative assessments. The umbrella term we use to talk about the summative assessments our students take is CAASPP which stands for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress. Be sure to
