Hello Wolf Canyon Families,

This week, Wolf Canyon students continue to engage in end-of-year (EOY) school district and state testing.  EOY testing is a great opportunity for students to shine and demonstrate skills they have developed this school year! EOY testing also allows students, teachers, and staff to celebrate successes while reflecting in areas to improve. During testing, it critically important that students arrive on time to school, ready and motivated to engage with testing. We encourage you to inspire your students to do their absolute best! 

Each week for the next 2 weeks, families will also receive a weekly email on Sundays that show which tests each grade level will be taking that coming week. For reference, “LM” is an acronym for Local Measures. LM are CVESD school district tests for all students in grades K-6. “SBAC” is an acronym for Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. SBAC are California state tests for students in grades 3-6.

Attached you will also find Wolf Canyon’s complete testing calendar for May 2026. Should you have any questions, please email your child’s teacher or our administration team.
