The Chico Unified School District requires that students pass six different computer proficiency tests before they may be graduated. Some of the tests are required, while others are optional.Two of the tests relate to information literacy skills. The CHS Library helps students to gain the knowledge and skills to pass these tests. Optimally, this is done by working with the teachers and their classes in the context of class assignments. The Social Science Department has agreed to try and have their students pass these tests during their World History classes. This is usually done as part of a library research unit, and in collaboration with the librarian.
The following links are provided as resources to our students who are learning about, studying for and practicing for two of their CUSD Graduation Computer Proficiency tests.
