All Aviators will engage in their Spring Common Assessments next week. CAs are worth 10% of your Aviators' overall semester average. The grades for CAs are make or break for many Aviators and we want to ensure that they take the test as seriously as STAAR or AP. We'll use data collected from CAs to update tutorial rosters and plan interventions for the final Quarter leading up to STAAR and AP!

How can you help? Be sure your Aviator is present and on time. See below for CA reminders!

Spanish CBE Testing - 8th Grade Aviators

All 8th grade students will take the Spanish Credit by Exam (CBE) on Wednesday, February 25th.

🎯 Why is this important?

Students take this exam to ensure they are placed in the right language course when they enter high school. This helps us match students to the level that best supports their learning and growth.

💪 Every student must try their best.

Regardless of how much Spanish your child believes they know, it is important that they give full effort on this exam. Even students who are unsure of their proficiency may earn high school credit.

🚀 What happens if a student tests out of Spanish?

Students who earn Spanish credit will open up space in their high school schedule for

• 📚 AP Spanish courses
• 🎓 Additional AP courses
• 💼 Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways
• 🌟 Advanced electives

This exam can create more flexibility and advanced academic opportunities throughout high school.

📌 How families can help:

• Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep
• Encourage them to eat breakfast
• Remind them to try their very best

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure every student is prepared for success in high school and beyond! If you have questions, please message Caroline Giese, Director of Academics on Parent Square or email Caroline.Giese@yesprep.org.
