Spring Testing Information and Bell Schedule:
From Instructional
Vice Principal
Diane Mazzei
WHS 11th Grade SBAC Testing Schedule: April 14-April 19, 2016
10th Grade CAASPP- Life Science Exam - April 14 and 15!
The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments are part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System, which replaced the previous Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The
CAASPP System is intended to provide parents and students more accurate and actionable information about what students are learning. Because the Smarter Balanced Assessments, which are administered as part of the CAASPP System,
are computer adaptive, these Assessments will also provide better information about the needs and successes of individual students. California's state universities and most community colleges use the eleventh grade results as an early signal of
readiness to take college courses.
The new Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments are very different from the old STAR tests in several ways:
1.
They are aligned with California’s new content standards for ELA and mathematics.
2.
They reflect the critical thinking and problem solving skills that students will need to be ready for college and
the 21st century job market.
3.
They are taken on a computer and are adaptive, which means that during the test, the questions will become
more or less difficult on the basis of how the student performs. If the student answers a question correctly, the
next question may be a bit more challenging; if the student answers it incorrectly, the next question may be less
difficult.
4.
They provide many more supports for students who need them, including students learning English and students
with disabilities, as described in the section below.
Mark your Calendars:
Day 1: Thursday, April 14 – Grade 11 -Math CAT (Computer Adaptive Test) AND grade 10 Life Science Exam Part 1 8:00-10:00 a.m.

Wildcats, Get Ready for the NEW Big Read! (Student choice)
All 2016-2017 Woodside High School students are expected to read a minimum of one book (must
be appropriate for school) over the summer. WHS students will self-select the book they wish to
read over the summer. (150-page minimum) The New Big Read will be held on Monday, August
29, 2016. Students will be given a choice of assignments to complete. (Stay-tuned for more details)
Goals:
1.
Advance literacy and academic performance by engaging high school students in reading.
2.
Foster a love of reading in high school students’ through self-selected summer reading.
Rationale:
“Summer Slide” It is estimated that school summer breaks will cause the average student to lose
up to one month of instruction, with disadvantaged students being disproportionately affected
(Cooper, 1996).

Información sobre el Examen de Primavera y el Horario de la Campana:
Sub Directora de
Instruccion
Diane Mazzei
Horario del Examen SBAC para 11o. Grado de WHS: 14-19 de Abril, 2016
Examen CAASPP- Life Science para 10o. Grado – 15 y 15 de Abril!
Las Evaluaciones Más Inteligentes Balanceadas Sumativas son parte del Sistema de California para evaluar el Desempeño y Progreso del Estudiante (CAASPP), las cuales reemplazan los Exámenes Estandarizados anteriores y el Programa de
Reporte (STAR). El objetivo del Sistema CAASPP es proporcionar a los padres y estudiantes información más precisa y
procesable acerca de lo que los estudiantes están aprendiendo. Las Evaluaciones Más Inteligentes Balanceadas, las cuales
son administradas como parte del Sistema CAASPP, son adaptables a la computadora, esas Evaluaciones también proveen mejor información acerca de las necesidades y éxitos de cada estudiante. Las universidades estatales y la mayoría de
los colegios comunitarios usan los resultados del 11º. Grado como una señal temprana de la disposición para tomar
cursos universitarios.
Las Nuevas Evaluaciones Más Inteligentes Balanceadas Sumativas son muy diferentes de los viejos exámenes STAR de
varias maneras:
1.
Están alineadas con los nuevos estándares de contenido de California para Ingles (ELA) y matemáticas.
2.
Reflejan el pensamiento crítico y las habilidades para resolver problemas que los estudiantes necesitaran para
estar preparados para la universidad y para el mercado de trabajo del siglo 21.
3.
Se toman en una computadora y son adaptables, lo cual significa que durante el examen, las preguntas serán más
o menos difíciles de acuerdo al desempeño del estudiante. Si el estudiante contesta correctamente una pregunta,
la siguiente pregunta puede ser más desafiante: si el estudiante la contesta incorrectamente, la siguiente pregunta
puede ser menos difícil.
4.
Proporcionan mucho más apoyo para estudiantes que lo necesitan, incluyendo a los estudiantes aprendices de
ingles y estudiantes con discapacidades, como se describe en la sección de abajo.
Marque sus Calendarios:
Día 1: Jueves, 14 de Abril –Grado 11 -Mat CAT (Examen Adaptable a la Computadora) Y grado 10 Examen Life Science Parte 1 - 8:00-10:00 a.m.

Gatos Salvajes, Prepárense para la NUEVA Gran Lectura! (Elección del Estudiante)
Esperamos que todos los estudiantes de Woodside High School del 2016-20017 lean como mínimo
un libro durante el verano (debe ser apropiado para la escuela). Los estudiantes de WHS seleccionaran ellos mismos el libro que deseen leer durante el verano. (150-páginas mínimos) La Nueva
Gran Lectura se llevara a cabo el lunes, 29 de agosto, 2916. Los estudiantes recibirán una selección de tareas para completar. (Manténgase al tanto para más detalles)
Metas:
1.
Alfabetización avanzada y rendimiento académica mediante la participación de los estudiantes de WHS en la
lectura.
2.
Fomentar el amor por la lectura en los estudiantes de High School atraves de la selección por ellos mismos de la lectura de verano.
Razon Fundamental:
“Diapositiva de Verano” Se estima que las vacaciones de verano provocan que un estudiante
promedio pierda un mes de instrucción, afectando de manera desproporcionada a los estudiantes
desfavorecidos (Cooper, 1996).

Recruiting New Members Now
The Business Technology Academy is a
small learning community designed to
provide students with technological skills
for today’s workforce. It is a three year
program focusing on a group of four
teachers work together to design cross-curricular assignments integrated with various current technologies.

Program which is designed to match students with a mentor who works in a field similar to each students’ career
interest. This includes students shadowing their mentor
at the mentor’s work place. Students are also eligible to

their sophomore and junior year. Each year students attend field trips focusing on team-building, college visits
and visiting various business in the Bay Area.
The Business Technology Academy provides a great opportunity for students to form close friendships with their
classmates, teachers and mentors, while receiving marketable technology skills. If interested, see Mr. Jose

‘Athletics Corner’
Spring - that’s right - spring sports began on Monday, February 1st!
However, our winter sports are still competing heavily. Girls’ soccer continues their
romp through the PAL Bay Division, undefeated and looking forward to the CCS
playoffs. Also, please congratulate team captain Jill Aguilera who signed her national
letter of intent to play Division I soccer at the University of Arizona. Boys’ soccer is
undefeated in the PAL Ocean Division and will also be participating in the CCS. Both
basketball teams improved their records over last season and will make bids for the CCS
playoffs, slated for mid-February. Our wrestling program was fortunate to have Wildcat
alum, Will Basler, take on head coaching duties as Roger Tonna was accepted to medical school in Grenada. In addition, the Wildcat track program has two new coaches, Melanie Seybert and David Hartford, both of whom are on campus along with Rob Suelflohn. Sid Newcomb is the new head coach for boys’ tennis, taking over from Stan Cartwright who retired in the fall and our water polo coaches have transferred over to swimming as Peter Davis, Laura
Reynolds and Molly McNinch will be leading the Wildcats on the pool deck. Here are some key dates for sports supporters:

Winter Sports Awards, March 3rd, 7pm, MUR.

ABO Fundraisers: Senior F ashion Show - Saturday, March 26th

Spring Health Fair Agencies Provide Family Services
By Jenny Bratton, CAT* (Counseling and Advocacy for Teens) Coordinator
*The CAT program operates in collaboration with Adolescent Counseling Services (ACS) to provide
mental health counseling and referral services to the WHS community.
Woodside’s CAT-ACS team hosted a dozen community agencies at its annual Spring Health Fair at the beginning of
February. These community agencies have graciously committed to the possibility of returning next year in the evening
to outreach to parents who may be interested in their services for their student or even for themselves. Most of these
agencies provide adults support services as well as teens and youth. But why wait until next year to get this information
out to you? Here is a short list of the agencies that welcome your inquiries. Unfortunately, the descriptions of all the
services they provide would be too lengthy to list, so please visit their websites through the links or feel free to call directly to speak to a person. Most, if not all, have Spanish-language services as well.
