Let's Finish Strong: The Last of the MCAS Tests for 2017



MCAS 2017 Finishes With 6th Grade Math & 8th Grade STE on Tuesday, May 23 & Wednesday, May 24

Most of MCAS Math is in the books, 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 23, and then finish up Session 2 on Wednesday, May 24.

Also on Tuesday, May 23, and Wednesday, May 24, 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.
