ICA Families,
We hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break. We will return to school on April 8, 2024.
This is the time of year for LCAP surveys. The links below are for student and parent surveys, please send these out to your 3rd grade and above students, and all of your parents. The surveys are anonymous and we are hoping for constructive feedback on how we are doing as a school and District.Students: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C3CCZHK Parents: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5KV6LP2
We will begin with CA State Testing after break so please check for messages from your homeroom teacher regarding your testing schedule. Students are encouraged to come into the ICA campus for State Testing whenever possible. However, if you cannot make it to campus, remote testing options are available. Please note that you must use your student chromebook for State Testing as there is a built in secure test browser on that device. If your chromebook is out of order please contact tech support at mrodriguez@helendalesd.com or 760-490-9823 before testing begins so we can make sure your chromebook is ready for testing.

Graduation is WEDNESDAY MAY 22, 2024 at ACE High School Gymnasium in Helendale, California at 6:00 in the evening, tickets will be required for entry. The ceremony will take place inside the Gymnasium. Graduates should arrive at 4pm for rehearsal prior to the ceremony.
As ICA Seniors progress through our newly created Seniors Seminar course, which was put together by our staff to better prepare them for their transition to the adult and working worlds, we are seeing our Seniors step up to the challenge of making decisions about their immediate future “after graduation.” The class, “Senior Seminar,” is made up of a combination of Life and Financial Awareness Skills that we want our graduates to know prior to them graduating and leaving our school. The primary instructors for the Senior Seminar class will be Mr. Maldonado (rmaldonado@helendalesd.com).
The State Testing time is nearly upon us. All students K-8 + 11th grade must take the full batter of the CAASPP testing. Beginning in 10th grade Students can begin taking the science test. All students must attempt the science test before they will be allowed to graduate. Get it done when you are in 10th grade and erase this from your plate!
ICA will begin testing via the following schedule:
The testing on site will begin at 8:30 am; the last test you can begin is at 1:00 pm.
Testing can be done at ICA or remotely! Contact me prior by Friday April 12th to set up remote testing.
Now is the time to review each of your classes with your teacher to see if you are on track to successfully complete the class. Since the final day of school is Thursday, May 23, 2024, the final day to submit work will be approximately Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Of course this date is set by each teacher.
The final day of the 3rd quarter is Friday, March 15, 2024. That gives you 38 school days to complete all your classes. Be aware of these end of the year timelines so you can earn as many credits as possible.
Spring break this year is April 1- Apr 5, 2024. At ICA since all classes are independent study, a student can continue to complete work during spring break. If you need to catch up in some of your classes this is a perfect time to do so!
As always if you have any questions or concerns, you can email me at bcrist@helendalesd.com or call me at 760-952-1760!
