Free @SmarterBalanced Assessment resources provided by @CaliforniaPTA #PTA4Kids @CADeptEd @LASchools 

It's that time of year -- time for students in grades 3 - 8 and 11 to take the new assessments!
California’s new student-assessment program — called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) — represents the next step in our state’s ambitious education remodeling project. 

As of spring 2015, California schools replaced old tests with new assessments built to let parents and teachers know how well students are learning the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s world. This year will be the second year of full implementation of the new assessments. Spring 2016 testing will take place mostly in April and May, depending on school district calendars. 

California State PTA has free, downloadable resources to help families understand what the assessments and scores mean for student success and to help parents use the results as a tool to talk with teachers about progress: 

What the Scores Mean -- Family-friendly explanations about the assessment scores
  • Double-sided (English/Spanish) 
  • Single-sided English 
  • Single-sided Spanish 
Questions to Ask -- Questions for families to ask to stay engaged in their child's assessment and education
  • Double-sided (English/Spanish)
  • Single-sided English
  • Single-sided Spanish 

Smarter Balanced Resources -- This infographic from California State PTA and Children Now offers answers and resources on frequently asked assessment questions
​
Early Assessment Program -- A flier from California State University, California Community Colleges and University of California outlines what the assessments mean for 11th-grade students 
And much more!

#EarthDay2016

is tomorrow Fri April 22 | Hey @LASchools & @EagleRockElem let's make #EarthDayEveryDay @EPA  

​EPA History: Earth Day

The First Earth Day in April 1970 (https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/epa-history-earth-day)
It may be hard to imagine that before 1970, a factory could spew black clouds of toxic into the air or dump tons of toxic waste into a nearby stream, and that was perfectly legal. They could not be taken to court to stop it.

How was that possible? Because there was no EPA, no Clean Air Act, no Clean Water Act. There were no legal or regulatory mechanisms to protect our environment.

In spring 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day as a way to force this issue onto the national agenda. Twenty million Americans demonstrated in different U.S. cities, and it worked! In December 1970, Congress authorized the creation of a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

2016 marks the Centennial of the National Park Service which turns 100 on August 25, 2016; however, you and your families can take part in the celebration during National Parks Week. Beginning Saturday, April 16 and running through Sunday, April 24 you and your families are invited to visit any of our country's amazing National Parks for FREE!

The National Park Service is once again partnering with the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks, to present National Park Week, a presidentially proclaimed celebration of our national heritage.

Plan your visit by what you want to do or where you want to go. Here are some highlights during National Park Week:

April 16–24: Visit for free!

April 22: Earth Day
  • On Earth Day, if you want to roll up your sleeves and pitch in with a project, look for a park where you can help out.
April 23: National Park Instameet
  • Join an InstaMeet in a park. Gather in a designated place at a specific time to take photos and short videos to post on Instagram (and other social media) with the same hashtag: #FindYourParkInstaMeet, #FindYourPark, #EncuentraTuParque, #NPS100
April 24: Park Rx Day
  • On Park Rx Day, parks will host fun recreational activities that encourage healthy lifestyles and promote physical and mental well being. (Looking to host your own event? Download A Guide to Planning Your Own National Park Rx Day Celebration [561KB PDF]).
