Dear Parents and Guardians,
To minimize interruptions during instructional time, please ensure your child arrives at school each morning with all necessary items, including their lunch, water bottle, and other essentials.
If you need to drop off an item during the school day, we will notify the teacher via email, and they will allow your child to pick it up at their earliest convenience. Your child is always welcome to check in at the office if they are missing a lunch or water bottle.
For any changes to your child's pick-up arrangements, please discuss them with your child before they arrive at school. If an unexpected change is necessary, contact the school at least 30 minutes before dismissal to inform us. Due to end-of-day activities, locating students at dismissal can be challenging.
Thank you for your support in ensuring Mission Meadows Mustangs have a smooth and successful school day!
The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is coming soon. This annual state assessment helps measure student learning and growth in key subjects. Starting on April 29 through May16, students in grades 3-5 will take assessments in English Language Arts and Math, and students in grade 5 will also take a Science assessment. These computer-based tests help students prepare for the future by building skills like problem-solving, writing, and critical thinking. The tests also help teachers and schools understand how well students are learning, ensuring they get effective lessons and the right support.
Parents can help their students get ready for the CAASPP assessments. Here are resources for parents and students that you can access at home:

Starting Smarter – CAASPP - Go to the “Check out the test questions” section for practice problems and answer keys.

How Parents Can Help
Encourage your students to keep a positive attitude, and always praise their effort and growth.
Remind students that they are capable and prepared to show their learning.
Encourage healthy habits: Get 8-10 hours of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, get daily exercise, and arrive at school on time each day.
Talk to your teachers about how to support learning at home.
We appreciate your support to help your students practice and build confidence so they are ready to shine on the CAASPP!
