CAHSEE test notification

E-mail Print PDF

Parents/Guardians:

This is an important email to notify you that the CAHSEE test will be given  to ALL 10th graders on Tuesday, February 7th and Wednesday, February 8th.  Additionally, 11th and 12th graders who have not yet passed one or both sections of the CAHSEE will test those days as well.  

If your student 10th grade student is sick one of the testing dates, make-up testing will be on Tuesday, March 13th (ELA) and Wednesday March 14th (Math) respectively.   

Students must pass the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) in order to earn a diploma from San Francisco Unified School District and the State of California.  The test is broken up into two tests:  English Language Arts (Tuesday) and Math (Wednesday).  Teachers will be spending some time in classes moving forward to prep students for the exams.

The tests will begin at 8:00 AM sharp each day, so please take extra care to make sure that your student is on time to school those days.  The testing window each day is from 8:00 - 12:20 and the proctors must wait for each students to be present to begin, so the sooner each student arrives to school, the longer amount of time students will have to test.  

Students will be grouped by their English classes to take the test and will find out from their English teachers who their proctor will be.  Proctor lists will be posted around school and sent out to families in a later email.

Below you will find information about the CAHSEE and prep materials

Academy Excel Afterschool Program Expands!

Last month, The Academy of Arts and Sciences announced that it was piloting an ExCEL Afterschool Program.  The Afterschool Program will offers tutoring from 3:30 to 4:30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday specifically in Math and English as well as in all subjects. The library is also a great place to get homework done even if you don't need tutoring at all!

This month, we have added arts and enrichment classes after the tutoring as well!

Beginning Monday, March 7th, students will be invited to participate in a variety of enrichment activities from 4:30 to 6:00pm.  All activities meet in the library at 4:30 and then they will move to their individual spaces.  These activities include...

EcoSF's School Farm Afterschool Program (Meet in the library)

Program activites include:  Organic farming, natuarl building, nature hikes, trail building, carpentry, art projects and multimedia.  Once the weather is nice, the goal is to be outside every day workign on the farm. 

Ballet Folklorico

Ballet Folklorico is a collective term for traditional Latin American dances that emphasize local folk culture with ballet characteristics - pointed toes, exaggerated movements, highly choreographed. 

Breakdancing/Caporeia (Start date TBD)

This class introduces students to an infusion of dance styles such as Popping, Locking, Capoeira and break dancing. Through out the classes students will learn rhythm through safe fun and high energy dance choreography and freestyle movement. The goal of the dance class is to build confidence, respect, and promote a positive self esteem through physical fitness leading to a healthy lifestyle.  

Come to the afterschool program Monday - Thursday in the library for academic tutoring and stay for the enrichment programs until 6:00 PM. For any questions, please email Greg Markwith ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or call the school at (415) 695-5700 x 3320
