STAR Testing

Here is a note from our assistant principal regarding STAR testing. I will be testing with my second period class.



Hello MJHS families,

Spring is here and so is the California Standardized (STAR) test time! We are planning to test the students on the following days:



Thursday 4/15

Monday 4/19

Tuesday 4/20

Thursday4/22


The students’ schedule on these four days will be slightly different. We will begin school at 9:00. The morning will be testing and they will visit only half of their classes each afternoon. The tests are aligned to the California state standards and cover content that has been taught in the students’ classes. Seventh graders will take two tests over the course of four days (English Language Arts and Math). Eighth graders will take four tests over the four days (English Language Arts, Math, Science, and History). It is imperative that students are on time and attend school all four testing days. Please make sure your student gets plenty of rest. Thank you for supporting us during the testing window. If you have any questions regarding the schedule or testing information, please feel free to contact me.

Respectfully,


Erica Sheridan

Assistant Principal
