The STAR program requires all school districts throughout the state to annually use the same standardized tests to assess the achievement of students in the areas of reading, mathematics and language arts. There are two components of the STAR Program. Supplemental assessments in the content areas of reading and mathematics are also administered. The supplemental or augmented assessments are designed to compliment the SAT-9 and bring it into closer alignment with California s academic standards. The results of the SAT-9 portion of the STAR yield individual score reports which will be sent home on or about the last day of the school year.
Parents have the right to exempt their child from the test.
If you prefer that your child not participate in the STAR program, please send a written request to that effect to your child s teacher by April 21st. Please include your child s name, grade and school. Meadowbrook Middle School is proud to announce that Mike Dimitriou has been chosen as Meadowbrook's first Teacher of the Year in the new millennium. He teaches sixth grade Basic Ed. Students in Mr. Dimitriou's class are doubly fortunate.
