Dear LEA CAASPP Coordinator or LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

Various CAASPP and ELPAC systems will be unavailable from Friday, July 29, 2022, at 5 p.m. to Tuesday, August 2, 2022, at 8 a.m. for a scheduled downtime. During the downtime, the following CAASPP and ELPAC systems will not be available:

• Test Operations Management System
• Test Administrator Interface
• Completion Status System
• Interim Assessment Viewing System

• California Educator Reporting System (CERS)
  • Note: CERS downtime begins Thursday, July 28, 2022, at 5 p.m. and ends Tuesday, August 2, 2022, at 8 a.m.

This downtime will be used to prepare for the transition to the 2022–23 school year for CAASPP. For a complete list of actions to take before this transition, see the Preparing to Transition to the 2022–23 Administration email sent on July 11, 2022.

Additionally, once the downtime begins, all student responses and associated hand scoring materials will be cleared from the Interim Assessment Handing Scoring System and will no longer be available for hand scoring.

Additional information about impacted systems and other scheduled downtimes is available on the CAASPP Planned System Downtime and ELPAC Planned System Downtime web pages. Please notify all CAASPP test site coordinators and site ELPAC coordinators within the LEA of the upcoming downtime.
