The results of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) tests, which were completed by students in grades 3-8 and 11 last spring, were released today by the California Department of Education. This is the fifth year students across the state, including Conejo Valley Unified School District, completed the test. CAASPP is a computer based test, which asks students to write clearly, think critically, and solve complex problems to gauge students’ progress in learning California’s academic standards.

Victoria Calle values not only the academic success of her students, but also their social and emotional well-being. She fosters a warm and supportive classroom environment for her students, where she is a consistent source of joy, security and encouragement. We, along with community partner, the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce are proud to honor her as CVUSD’s October 2019 Teacher of the Month!

This year CVUSD joined with Sandy Hook Promise to implement two of the three  "Know the Signs Program" modules: "Start with Hello" and "Say Something." The "Start with Hello" program encourages social inclusivity with peer to peer activities to reduce students feeling isolated at school (activities and ice breakers are intended for students to use at school with student peers).

Promoting empathy and understanding is at the center of Westlake Hills Elementary School’s first ever Abilities Awareness Week happening from September 23^rd to September 27th. This special weeklong, school wide, fully integrated event will give students knowledge and insight about various different disabilities.
