NMS 6th & 8th Grade Students Start ELA MCAS Tomorrow, Wed 3/25 &3/26

MCAS Begins Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26, for Students in Grades 6 & 8 ELA Reading Comprehension

This afternoon I made an Alert-Now message reminding all parents about MCAS.

MCAS testing begins tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25.  

Our 6th and 8th Grade students will begin the ELA portion of the MCAS with Reading Comprehension.  They will then complete their ELA portions of the testing on Thursday, March 26.

Then on Thursday, April 2, our 7th Grade students will begin their administration of the Spring ELA tests with the Long Composition, and then on Tuesday, April 7, and Wednesday, April 8, they will complete their Reading Comprehension sections.    

Please try to make sure your child gets a good night sleep and something to eat for breakfast during these days.  We will be providing a water to all students, but they are also encouraged to bring in a healthy snack and a water bottle, if they choose.  Also, the cafeteria will be open for breakfast an extended time if anyone would like to purchase.

Please make sure students are here on-time all week, wish them luck and re-emphasize the tests' importance. 

Thank you,
