4. State Testing Importance
As we approach the state testing period, I wanted to take a moment to emphasize the importance of these assessments for your child and our community as a whole
It’s essential to understand that our students are incredibly bright and capable individuals. Excelling in state testing allows us to showcase students’ talents and intelligence on a broader scale. By performing well, we demonstrate that our students are just as competent and competitive as their peers across the Alpine School District.
State testing serves as a crucial benchmark for evaluating student progress and academic achievement. While it may seem like just another exam, its significance extends far beyond individual performance. The results of these tests not only reflect on CVHS, but also reflect on our entire community.
Please encourage your child to do well so we can shine!
