We wanted to remind parents and guardians along with Grade 10 students that tomorrow and Wednesday this week is the English Language Arts MCAS testing. Students should report to the cafeteria by 7:30am. Testing begins each day at 7:40am after a brief break in the cafeteria for breakfast. Room assignments were posted today in the cafeteria, outside the media center and near the main office for students to know where they will report after meeting in the cafeteria. A few important reminders for students: Please make sure your iPad is fully charged for MCAS testing and is up-to-date with the current version of software. You will need your iPad for testing as they are computer-based. If you are absent on a day of testing, you will be scheduled for a makeup test session upon your return.
