Counseling Corner
Donut Stress the Test (Grades 3-12): Starting March 18
In this class, we will teach students test-taking skills and strategies to cope with test anxiety and give them the confidence they need to succeed. We will help students create an action plan or steps that they can follow to complete MISSION: CAASPP Test-Taking Success.

Missions will help students recognize and learn about their worries, explore the symptoms, learn about the components of the CAASPP test, and how to manage their anxiety before and during a test. We want to help students shift their testing mindset from being something scary to a mission they can feel prepared to complete successfully. For more information about this class and to sign up, please click below.

Student Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) are used in conjunction with our mission, vision, and core values to help drive the support or services we offer our students and families. Please take a moment to review these SLOs, which specify an action by the student that is observable, measurable, and able to be demonstrated when they have completed their schooling at Sage Oak.
