MCAS - 2010

March 10, 2010

Dear Parents:

This Spring, students in Massachusetts will participate in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, (MCAS) testing program as required by the Department of Education.  These tests are part of a larger effort by the State to improve your child’s education.  As a part of this effort, the State will test students in Massachusetts schools during March, April and May.

It is important that all students to be tested attend school on testing days.  Results from these tests measure student progress compared to other students across the state and are made available to parents and school staff.  These results also allow schools to examine grade level and whole school programs over time and adjust curriculums accordingly.

The test schedule is as follows:

To help prepare the children for these tests, please be sure that they have a good nights rest as well as a healthy breakfast before coming to school.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s specific accommodation, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.

Sincerely,

John W. Stevens
Principal
