CAHSEE ELA and Math Review Courses

Golden Valley has created two courses to help students prepare for passing this important exam.  Each course – ELA and Math – is worth 2.5 credits – and involves workbook activities as well as a final exam. Students who have failed to pass a section of the CAHSEE after one attempt are required to take these courses.  All other high school students have the option of taking the course as an elective; talk with your ES if you’re interested.
