Additional Information
PARCC testing will be on May 8th (reading), 10th (reading), 11th (reading), 12th (math), and 15th (math). We will be testing in the mornings only. Please be sure your child gets a good night's rest and a balanced, healthy breakfast in the morning. It would be greatly beneficial if your child could bring a pair of headphones/earbuds, pencils, and 1-2 books from home. The test will be on the Chromebooks, but students will be provided scratch paper to write on and they are allowed to read a book quietly to themselves after taking the test.
Advice: don't let your child get too stressed out over the coming tests. Yes, it is important for your child to try their best, read all directions carefully, to not race through the questions, and to check their work, but this test is not going to make or break them when they try to get into Harvard.
​
If your child is absent any of these days, there will be make-up dates sometime between May 16-June 9th.
