Let's Finish Strong: Math & STE MCAS Tests for 2018



MCAS 2018 Finishes With 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Math & 8th Grade STE Starting on Tuesday, May 15 Through Wednesday, May 23

We have concluded our ELA portion of this year's MCAS tests, but we now at the Nichols Middle School finish our Math MCAS testing with the 6th Grade students taking Session 1 of Math on Tuesday, May 15, and then finish up Session 2 on Wednesday, May 16.

Then our 8th Grade students will take their Session 1 of Math on Thursday, May 17, and then finish up Session 2 on Friday, May 18.

Then our 7th Grade students will take their Session 1 of Math on Tuesday, May 22, and then finish up Session 2 on Wednesday, May 23.

Also on Tuesday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 23, our 8th Grade students will be completing the Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) portions of the MCAS.


Again, I have had meetings with all 8th, 7th, and 6th Grade students.  In my meetings, I discussed the importance of the tests, some test-taking strategies, and why students should do their best.


I talked with students about getting a good night's sleep, eating a solid breakfast, and bringing in a water bottle to support their learning.

We believe that all of our students can have success with MCAS and we know that we will not be happy until all of them do.

Please re-emphasize to your child that they need to try their best during these testing days, and success should be in our future.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you.
