MCAS tests continue this week. The sixth and seventh grade take the Math MCAS test on Monday and Tuesday, May 7-8, and the eighth grade takes their Math MCAS test this Wednesday and Thursday, May 9-10.
We want all of the students to approach these assessments in a positive and confident frame of mind. Your help makes a huge difference. Here are a few tips:
- Words of encouragement to your child are especially helpful before the assessments and on the day of it.
- Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep prior to each test, a healthy breakfast on the morning of each test, and that he or she arrives to school on time.
- Bringing a water bottle or purchasing a bottle of water in the school store in the morning is also recommended.
The final test, the Science/Technology/Engineering MCAS test, will be given to the eighth grade only on May 17.
