MCAS REMINDER

MCAS REMINDER

Our fourth grade students will be taking the ELA portion of the MCAS performance based assessments.  The students will be using the iPads for this test.  The students are well prepared and have certainly progressed in their reading, writing, and iPad skills throughout the year.  It is time for their talents to shine!

Finneran / Weagle – Monday, April 9^th and Tuesday, April 10^th

Cloyes / Rice – Wednesday, April 11^th and Thursday, April 12^th

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.   MCAS

testing is scheduled to begin shortly after 9:15. It is important that

we have some time to talk with the students prior to the beginning

of the given day’s assessment.   

2.  Get a good night’s sleep!

3.  Eat a filling, healthy breakfast.

4.  Bring TWO SNACKS and a WATER BOTTLE to school!

      * First snack will be eaten prior to testing and the second snack

        needs to be able to be eaten quickly (3 to 5 minutes).

5.  Wear comfortable, appropriate layered clothing.

6.  Any ELECTRONIC devices such as smart watches / cell phones,

     etc. should either be kept at home or will be kept on the teacher’s

    desk.

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

         practiced.
