CSUS Winter Time Support Drive

Good Evening CSUS Parents and Caregivers, for many families this year has been challenging and difficult, and as we move into the next few months those challenges can become even more of a burden than they currently are. To support scholars and families within our school community that may be in need this winter, the CSUS PCO will be holding a winter time support drive this month.

If you are able and willing to donate to the cause we will be accepting donations via the PCO Website.

Fastbridge Screeners for 6th Grade in November

Scholars across the district, including at CSUS, are being assessed on foundational skills in ELA and Math in the coming weeks to ensure each student is getting the instructional support they need and making adequate progress. These computer-based assessments fall under the umbrella of universal screening and are being administered through a platform called FastBridge.

These assessments will be completed in 6th Grade Reading Classes 11/2 or 11/3, and 6th Grade Math Classes 11/8 or 11/9. Most CSUS scholars have taken these assessments since they were in elementary school, so our returning scholars are familiar with them. Scholar scores will not be part of their grade, but will help us monitor progress over time. Scholars should try their best, but not feel any stress from them.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
