PARCC REMINDER

Monday through Thursday, May 16th – 19th, our fourth grade students will be taking the MATH portion of the PARCC performance based assessments. The students are well prepared and their math skills have grown throughout the year.  It is time for their talents to shine!

Here are a few reminders that we’ve discussed with the students:

1.  ARRIVE TO SCHOOL ON TIME! 

This is key for those students that do not take the bus.  PARCC testing is scheduled to begin shortly after 9:15 on each of the days. It is important that we have time to talk with the students prior to beginning the day’s assessment, so arriving on time is essential. The students will have a 60 minute time limit for test taking each day. Time management will be essential!!

2.  Get a good night’s sleep!

3.  Eat a healthy breakfast.

4.  Bring a WATER BOTTLE to school!

5.  Wear comfortable, appropriate layered clothing.

6.  Remember to use all the strategies that they have learned and practiced.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
