Dear Families,
We have our Mid-Winter Break from Monday, February 21st-Friday, February 25th. Students are more than welcome to continue their curriculum, but our staff will be unavailable.
We are committed to your student's academic success and devoted to ensuring that each student has the support they need to succeed. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me! I am here to support you.

Is your student behind in their courses? They can catch up during Mid-Winter Break!
TK-5th Graders
Please check each of your courses in Schoology (click grades) or check in with your teacher to see which assignments are still outstanding.
6th-12th Graders
Pacing in Edgenuity is based upon the school calendar, which means that the system recognizes that students will not be expected to log in during Mid-Winter break. This is your student's opportunity to get back on track in their courses if needed. I would strongly encourage all students currently behind to use this time to catch up, but please be aware that our faculty will be unavailable during this break.Every student behind in their courses should be meeting with their teachers during Intervention hours to get extra help. As a reminder, you can also schedule 1-1 time with your teachers to get extra support when needed or visit them during their office hours.
PFT Testing- Kern County Students in grades 5,7, and 9

Physical Fitness Testing (Grades 5, 7, and 9)
Each year, students in grades five, seven, and nine participate in the California Physical Fitness Test, also called the PFT. California has chosen the FITNESSGRAM® as the annual physical fitness test for students in California public schools. The PFT results provide one measure that students and their families can use, along with other information, to monitor overall fitness. Schools may also use these results for the purpose of evaluating their physical education program.
This year, your child will take the Physical Fitness Test (FITNESSGRAM®).
The FITNESSGRAM® includes six test areas:
· Aerobic Capacity
· Body Composition
· Abdominal Strength and Endurance
· Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility
· Upper Body Strength and Endurance
· Flexibility
Most of the fitness areas of the FITNESSGRAM® have two or three test options so all students, including those with special needs, have the chance to participate. For each fitness area of the FITNESSGRAM®, students are scored as meeting the “Healthy Fitness Zone” or “Needs Improvement.”
To learn more about the PFT, go to the California Department of Education Parent Guides to Understanding Web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/parentguidetounderstand.asp.
Our students will start testing this month (February). Please be on the lookout for an email from your child's homeroom teacher regarding the testing time, day, and location!
If you have any questions about your child’s participation in the PFT, the FITNESSGRAM®, or the test results, please contact Sabrina Ciolino at Sabrina.Ciolino@peak-prep.org or 415-320-1401
