MCAS
As you all must know, the children will be taking the Massachusetts
Comprehensive Assessment System Tests this spring. The dates have
been scheduled for:
Reading MCAS Tests - March 20th & 21st
Two test days during this time frame
Math MCAS Tests - May 8th & 9th
Two test days dring this time frame
It is important that your child gets a good night's rest and eats a good
breakfast. It is also important that your child attend school on the
scheduled dates. While make-up dates are possible to arrange, make-ups are
not usually under optimal conditions, so please try to avoid any absence. If
a child misses a make-up date, the child will score a zero for the
particular test missed.
It is important for them to feel a sense of respect for the MCAS tests and a
motivation to do their best.
