California High School Exit Exam for Sophomores
Capistrano Valley High School will be administering the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) on March 16th and 17th. Important points for ALL students are below.
Sophomores:
„« All sophomores are required to take the English portion of the test on Tuesday, March 16 and the Math portion on Wednesday, March 17. Students must take and pass both sections of the test to meet graduation requirements.
„« Sophomores will eat lunch at 12:40 p.m. Please encourage your student to eat a nutritious lunch. The cafeteria will be open for sophomores only on test days.
„« Sophomores must quickly report to their assigned room at the end of lunch at 1:15.
„« Prior to the test days, room assignments will be posted on the Guidance Office and Library windows.
„« Students must show a photo I.D. when they check into their assigned classroom. If students have lost their ID, they must obtain a student print out from the Guidance Office for a .25 charge.
„« Although there is no time limit for taking the tests, past experience has shown that most students will be done by 4:30 on Tuesday and somewhat earlier on Wednesday. For students who normally ride the school bus, service will be available at 4:30 p.m. on both days. Students who finish later will need to make arrangements for alternative transportation.
Attendance at school is always a priority, but these days are especially critical as this is an important step toward the goal of high school graduation. Please don¡¦t schedule any appointments for your student on these days in order to ensure your student will be in attendance on both days of the CAHSEE administration.
All other grade levels (9,11,12)
„« EARLY RELEASE – On CAHSEE test days there will be a special minimum day schedule for all students in order to allow sophomores to test in the afternoon. Specifically, at 12:40 p.m. all classes will be dismissed and 9th 11thand 12th grade students will leave campus. Please plan your pick-up times accordingly.
„« Regular bus service will be available.
Thank you!
