NUSD VLA Weekly Newsletter
Thursday, April 29, 2021
Hello VLA Middle School Families,
CAASPP Testing ELA and Math
ELA will be given during the week of May 17-21 and Math will be given during the week of May 24-28. Students will take their CAASPP tests with their English and math teachers.
Students will need to take CAASPP on a district device. Please go to Hill Education if your child’s device needs to be repaired. See IT’s hours below. VLA students will take CAASPP remotely.
Here is the link to the CAASPP VLA 6-8 Letter.
Students will need to be able to locate their SSID number in Aeries. Please note this is a different number than their NUSD 10000 number. In order for students to locate their Student State Identification number log into Aeries portal, click on student info, click on profile, click on “general”, and use the number next to Student State Identification Number.
Students may use scratch paper and graph paper for the assessments. If you need these items they are available at the front offices of Sinaloa, San Jose, Hamilton, and District Office. The scratch paper used will need to be torn up by the student in front of the camera once the assessment is completed in order to not share secure information.
IT Hours at Hill Education
In support of students returning to on campus instruction, IT has adjusted their support hours at the Hill Education Center. The new hours will be as follows:
Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri from 2-4 p.m.
Wed from 9-11 a.m.
Teacher Appreciation Week May 3rd- May 7th
The week of May 3rd – May 7th is Teacher Appreciation Week. NUSD VLA teachers have adapted their practices to best meet the needs of our students in a remote setting. Teachers play a critical role in educating and shaping our children. They are kind, patient, hard- working, dedicated, and understanding professionals that mold our children’s lives in a positive direction. This annual, week-long celebration recognizes the consistently high level of work performed by the District’s certificated staff. I encourage students and families to share their appreciation of the teachers in their lives during this week!
