In addition, the research items associated with the Performance Task (PT) will be reduced from 3 to 1 for all grades. Two additional machine-scored items have been added to the CAT portion of the test to compensate for the reduction of items in the PT.

phishing Business Serv
Beware of Phishing Scams
Information Technology (IT) staff have received several reports of emails coming from what appears to be the school principals asking other staff members to purchase gift cards. While the email system is set up to block these emails, some may occasionally get through the spam filter. These types of emails are commonly referred to as "phishing" emails.
If you think you may have received a phishing email, please contact the IT Department for assistance at extension 12611. Alternatively, you can forward the information to "help@fusdk12.net".

What are some telltale signs that an email might be fraudulent?
  • Check the actual email address. Email from the legitimate staff email accounts from our email server will appear from the domains "@fremont.k12.ca.us" or "@fusdk12.net". Any other domain could mean the emailer is impersonating someone.
  • Unusually urgent requests asking you to purchase something immediately and send activation codes for gift cards. Other urgent requests might involve sending sensitive information such as staff or student data.
  • Links to external websites that ask for personal or private information or passwords
  • Strange attachments. Some files can contain malicious code that can damage the operating system, install viruses or other malware, or even compromise other computers or servers in the district.

The 2018-19 District Assessment Schedule has been published on the Assessment & Accountability internal web page under District Assessments. Most of the testing dates are similar to last year, with the exception of the ELA interim assessments which have been pushed up to November this year. This was done in order to have the results in time for use in the reclassification of English Learners, thus avoiding the need for any RFEP'd students to take the ELPAC in February.
