Dear Parent or Guardian:<br />

Pursuant to California law, all students must pass the California <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Exit Examination (CAHSEE) in<br />

order to receive a high school diploma. This high school graduation requirement was authorized by Senate Bill 2<br />

of the Statutes of 1999.<br />

The stated purpose of the CAHSEE is to help improve student achievement in high school and to make sure that<br />

graduates meet identified state content standards in reading, writing and mathematics. At the time of this writing,<br />

the law prohibits 9 th graders from taking the test, requires all 10 th grade students to take the test, one time only,<br />

during the spring semester, and stipulates that 11 th and 12 th graders shall have multiple opportunities to take the test<br />

during the school year.<br />

Testing dates for the CAHSEE are designated by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and are the same<br />

all over California. For the 2013-2014 school year, the designated dates are; November 5 th & 6 th 2013, February<br />

4 th & 5 th 2014, <strong>Mar</strong>ch 18 th & 19 th 2014, and May 13 th & 14 th 2014. CAHSEE testing for sophomores is once only<br />

during the spring semester, for juniors it is twice a year, and for seniors it is available three times a year. For all<br />

dates, the English Language Arts portion of the test is given on a Tuesday and the Mathematics portion on a<br />

Wednesday.<br />

The staffs at our schools are dedicated to making sure students receive the instruction they need to help them pass<br />

such tests. Students will be offered opportunities for assistance as they are needed. It is important that we work<br />

together to help all students succeed. Questions about the California <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Exit Examination may be<br />

directed to the vice-principal at your student’s high school.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Heidi Reyes<br />

Director, Student Services<br />

Estimado padre o tutor:<br />

De conformidad con ley de California, todos los estudiantes de California tienen que aprobar el Examen de Salida<br />

de la Escuela Secundaria (CAHSEE) para recibir un diploma de una escuela secundaria. Este requisito para<br />

graduarse de una escuela secundaria fue autorizado por el Proyecto de Ley Senatorial 2 de los Estatutos de 1999.<br />

El propósito declarado del CAHSEE es de ayudar a mejorar el rendimiento estudiantil en la escuela secundaria y<br />

para asegurarse de que los que se gradúen han cumplido determinadas normas estatales de contenido en la lectura,<br />

la escritura y el matemáticas. En el momento de escribir este artículo, la ley prohíbe que estudiantes en el grado 9<br />

tomen la prueba, exige que todos los estudiantes del grado 10 tomen la prueba, por una sola vez, durante el<br />

semestre de primavera, y estipula que los estudiantes en grados 11 y 12 tendrán oportunidades múltiples para<br />

tomar la prueba durante el año escolar.<br />

Fechas de los exámenes para el CAHSEE son designados por el Superintendente Estatal de Instrucción Pública y<br />

son los mismos en todo California. Para el año escolar 2013-2014, las fechas designadas son; el 5 y 6 de<br />

noviembre de 2013, el 4 y 5 de febrero de 2014, el 18 y 19 de marzo 2014, y el 13 y 14 de mayo de 2014. La<br />

prueba de CAHSEE para los estudiantes en grado 10 es dado una sola vez durante el semestre de primavera, para<br />

los estudiantes de grado 11 se da la prueba dos veces al año, y para los estudiantes de grado 12 la prueba está<br />

disponible tres veces al año. Para todas las fechas, la porción de Idioma Inglés de la prueba se da en un martes y la<br />

porción de matemáticas se da en un miércoles.<br />

El personal de nuestras escuelas están dedicados a asegurar que los estudiantes reciban las instrucciones que<br />

necesitan para ayudarles a pasar estas pruebas. A los estudiantes se les ofrecerá oportunidades para recibir ayuda<br />

según se la necesite. Es importante que trabajemos juntos para ayudar a todos los estudiantes a tener éxito.<br />

Preguntas sobre el Examen de Salida de la Escuela Secundaria de California pueden ser dirigidas al vice-director<br />

de la escuela preparatoria de su estudiante.<br />

Atentamente,<br />
