This past week, the CSArts-SGV servers that host all of our critical programs, including Schoology, Zoom, Google Meet, Aeries, Outlook, and others, underwent an attack from a number of outside agents who were attempting to gain entry to our network. Fortunately, these attacks were repelled by our firewall software and IT staff, and no damage was done to our servers. However, as a result of the attacks, our ability to host meetings and use Schoology and other programs was compromised throughout the week.
Our IT staff believes they have resolved these issues, but they will continue to monitor our network for additional complications. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused to our students, families, faculty, and staff.

FREE PRACTICE SAT/ACT EXAMS |
|
CSArts-SGV is partnering with Revolution Prep to provide our students with the opportunity to practice taking college admissions exams for free, while remaining safely at home. A proctored practice exam is the best way to get a real-time snapshot of testing performance in order to create a testing plan and timeline.
Why take a practice exam? Although many colleges and universities are currently test optional, some students are pursuing SAT or ACT scores to strengthen their applications, to qualify for scholarships, and to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses. By taking a free Practice ACT and/or SAT exam, students can determine which exam(s) they are best suited for. Taking a mock exam is also a great way to determine if taking an official exam is right for you.
The free remote practice exams will be administered on Saturday, May 22 and Saturday, May 29 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. You may choose to take either the Practice SAT or Practice ACT for each administration date. Please click here to register. The deadline to register is the Thursday prior to each exam date. Materials and instructions will be emailed to students 24 hours before the exams.
