Principal’s Message
Hello Mesa Families,
We had a wonderfully fun and exercise-worthy Mesa Challenge Jog-a-Thon Reinvented event this past Friday afternoon. It was nice to see so many students, parents, and staff enjoying themselves and doing a lot of exercise at
the same time. Thanks to the marvelous Mesa PFO for hosting Friday’s event and the elementary Mesa Challenge the other day, and the chairpersons Mrs. Diane Rucker and Mrs. Caryn Papa. Also thanks to our Mesa custodial staff for setting up and painting the grass lines, and for Superintendent Turner for arranging for the hay delivery and putting the obstacle course together. It was enjoyed by all. Together both events together raised over $33,000 for teacher room funds and grants, field trips, athletics, and educational and community enhancement programs.
As we get close to our state testing next month, I wanted highlights some points about the computer adaptive test, or CAT. Unlike just a few years ago, and when we were in school and
college, the CAT is taken solely on the computer, and no two test are alike, as they adapt to the test taker. The testing system selects questions appropriately challenging for each student, and the system does this largely based on the students answer to the previous question. On the CAT portions of the state test, most students will answer about half the questions correctly and half incorrectly. However, and unlike on the tests before CAASPP, the student is not scored on the basis of the number of correct answers (i.e., percent correct). The student is scored on both the number of correct answers and the difficulty of the questions completed. There is another type of question besides the CAT on the CAASPP, and it is called a performance task, or PT. Performance Task (PT) for ELA and mathematics is not computer adaptive but it is taken on the computer. Next week, I’ll talk about the PTs.
Mesa Jr Hi Coed Soccer and Boys Volleyball games start this week for the Camarillo Independent Sports League. Game schedules are published on the PFO
Calendar at www.mesapfo.org. Come check our players in their new uniforms from PFO and cheer them on. Go Tigers!
Teacher Appreciation Week is next week April 30 - May 4. Look for more information coming home this week. Let’s show our support and gratitude for our Mesa teachers and staff!
On Wednesday in the elementary school, it is Fancy Day and you should show your school spirit by dressing up for school on Wednesday, April 25! Wear ties or fancy dresses or whatever you have at home that you’d wear to a special event. Last year, I wore my tuxedo to school! What will you be wearing!?
Also on Wednesday, April 25, Mesa is having its Restaurant Day/Night at Five Guys at The Collection. Mention Mesa Union PFO and have lunch and/or dinner from open to close for 20% back to Mesa!
Warmly, Dr. Bluestein, Principal

Mesaje del Director
Hola Familias de Mesa,
Tuvimos un evento reinventado Mesa Challenge Jog-a-Thon maravillosamente divertido y digno de ejercicio el pasado viernes por la tarde. Me alegré de ver a tantos estudiantes, padres y personal divirtiéndose y haciendo
mucho ejercicio al mismo tiempo. Gracias a la maravillosa Mesa PFO por organizar el evento del viernes y al elemental Mesa Challenge el otro día, y a los presidentes Sra. Diane Rucker y Sra. Caryn Papa. También gracias a nuestro personal de conserjería de Mesa por preparar y pintar las líneas de pasto, y por el Superintendente Turner por organizar el reparto de heno y organizar el recorrido de obstáculos. Fue disfrutado por todos. Juntos, ambos eventos juntos recaudaron más de $ 33,000 para fondos y subsidios para salones de maestros, viajes de estudio, atletismo y programas educativos y de mejora de la comunidad.
A medida que nos acerquemos a nuestras pruebas estatales el próximo mes, quería resaltar algunos puntos sobre la prueba de adaptación informática, o CAT. A diferencia de
hace unos pocos años, y cuando estábamos en la escuela y la universidad, el CAT se toma únicamente en la computadora, y no hay dos pruebas iguales, ya que se adaptan al examinado. El sistema de prueba selecciona las preguntas apropiadamente desafiantes para cada alumno, y el sistema lo hace en gran parte en función de la respuesta de los alumnos a la pregunta anterior. En las porciones de CAT de la prueba estatal, la mayoría de los estudiantes responderán la mitad de las preguntas correctamente y la mitad incorrectamente. Sin embargo, y a diferencia de las pruebas anteriores a CAASPP, el alumno no obtiene puntajes sobre la base de la cantidad de respuestas correctas (es decir, porcentaje correcto). El alumno obtiene una puntuación tanto en el número de respuestas correctas como en la dificultad de las preguntas completadas. Hay otro tipo de pregunta además del CAT en el CAASPP, y se llama tarea de rendimiento o PT. La tarea de rendimiento (PT) para ELA y matemáticas no es adaptable a la computadora, pero se toma en la computadora. La próxima semana, hablaré sobre los PT.
Los juegos de Mesa Jr Hi Coed Soccer y Boys Volleyball comienzan esta semana para la Camarillo Independent Sports League. Los horarios de los
juegos se publican en el calendario de PFO en www.mesapfo.org. Ven a ver a nuestros jugadores con sus nuevos uniformes de PFO y animarlos. ¡Vamos tigres!
La semana de agradecimiento a los maestros es la próxima semana, del 30 de abril al 4 de mayo. Busquen más información en casa esta semana. ¡Demostremos nuestro apoyo y gratitud por los maestros de Mesa!
¡El miércoles en la escuela primaria es Fancy Day y debes mostrar tu espíritu escolar vistiéndote para la escuela el miércoles 25 de abril! Use corbatas o vestidos de fantasía o lo que sea que tenga en casa que use para un evento especial. ¡El año pasado, llevé mi esmoquin a la escuela! ¿Qué vas a usar?
También el miércoles, 25 de abril, Mesa tendrá su restaurante Día / Noche en Five Guys at The Collection. Mencione el PFO de Mesa Union y almuerce y / o cena de abierto a cerrado para un 20% de regreso a Mesa.
Con gusto, Dr. Bluestein, Director

Statewide Testing Notification California students take several mandated statewide tests. These tests provide parents/guardians, teachers, and educators with information about how well students are learning and becoming college and career ready. The test results may be used for local, state, and federal accountability purposes.
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress
• Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Assessments The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) computer adaptive assessments are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics tests are administered in grades three through eight and grade eleven to measure whether students are on track to college and career readiness. In grade eleven, results from the ELA and math assessments can be used as an indicator of college readiness.
• California Science Tests (CAST) The new, computer-based CAST measures student acquisition of the California Next Generation Science Standards. It is administered in grades five and eight, and once in high school. The new computer-based CAST replaces the California Standards Tests (CST) for Science.
• California Alternate Assessments (CAA) The computer-based CAA for ELA and CAA for mathematics is administered to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Test items are aligned with the CCSS and are based on the Core Content Connectors. The instructionally embedded CAA for Science is administered in grades five and eight, and once in high school.
• Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/Language Arts California offers the optional STS for Reading/Language Arts, which are multiple-choice tests that allow Spanish-speaking English learners to demonstrate their knowledge of the California content standards. The California Spanish Assessment (CSA) will replace the optional STS. The CSA will be a computer-based assessment that is aligned with the California CCSS en Español.
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 60615, parents/guardians may annually submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all of the CAASPP assessments.
English Language Proficiency Assessments for California
California will transition from the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) to the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) in 2017–18. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. It consists of two separate English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessments: one for the initial identification of students as English learners and the other for the annual summative assessment to identify students’ English language proficiency level and to measure their progress in learning English.
Physical Fitness Test
The physical fitness test (PFT) for students in California schools is the FitnessGram®. The main goal of the test is to help students in starting lifelong habits of regular physical activity. Students in grades five, seven, and nine take the fitness test.

Notificación de exámenes estatales Los estudiantes de California presentan varios exámenes estatales requeridos. Estos exámenes brindan a los padres, tutores, maestros y educadores información sobre qué tan bien los estudiantes están aprendiendo y preparándose para ingresar a la universidad o ejercer una profesión. Los resultados de los exámenes podrían usarse con fines de rendición de cuentas locales, estatales y federales.
Exámenes del Rendimiento y Progreso de los Estudiantes de California • Exámenes del Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
Los exámenes adaptables mediante computadora de los Exámenes del Rendimiento y Progreso de los Estudiantes de California (CAASPP) se adhieren a los Estándares Académicos Fundamentales Estatales (CCSS). Los exámenes de artes del lenguaje en inglés y lectoescritura (ELA) y matemáticas se aplican en el tercero al octavo y undécimo grado para medir si los estudiantes están en vías a su preparación para ingresar a la universidad o ejercer una profesión. En el undécimo grado, los resultados de los exámenes de ELA y matemáticas se pueden utilizar como un indicador de la preparación para el ingreso a la universidad.
• Exámenes de Ciencias de California (CAST) Los nuevos CAST basados en la computadora miden la adquisición de los estudiantes de los Estándares de las Ciencias de la Próxima Generación de California. Se aplican en el quinto y octavo grado y una vez en la escuela preparatoria. Los nuevos CAST basados en la computadora reemplazan a los Exámenes de los Estándares Académicos de California (CST) de ciencias.
• Exámenes Alternativos de California (CAA) Los CAA basados en la computadora para ELA y matemáticas se aplican a los estudiantes con las discapacidades cognitivas más significativas en el tercero al octavo y undécimo grado. Los elementos de los exámenes se adhieren a los CCSS y se basan en los Conectores del Contenido Básico. Los CAA de ciencias están integrados didácticamente y se aplican en el quinto y octavo grado y una vez en la escuela preparatoria.
• Exámenes Basados en los Estándares Académicos en Español (STS) para lectura/artes del lenguaje California ofrece los STS opcionales para lectura/artes del lenguaje, que son exámenes de opción múltiple que permiten a los estudiantes hispanohablantes que están aprendiendo el inglés demostrar sus conocimientos de los estándares de contenido de California. El Examen de Español de California (CSA) reemplazará al STS opcional. El CSA será un examen basado en la computadora que se adhiere a los CCSS en Español de California.
De conformidad con la sección 60615 del Código de Educación de California, los padres o tutores pueden presentar anualmente ante la escuela una petición por escrito para excusar a su hijo de uno o todos los exámenes de CAASPP.
Exámenes del Dominio del Idioma Inglés para California California hará la transición del Examen para Medir el Desarrollo del Idioma Inglés de California (CELDT) a los Exámenes del Dominio del Idioma Inglés para California (ELPAC) en 2017-2018. Los ELPAC se adhieren a los Estándares del Desarrollo del Idioma Inglés de California de 2012. Constan de dos exámenes separados de Dominio del Idioma Inglés (ELP): uno para la identificación
