Dear Families,
In this issue you will find the 2022 MCAS information that was presented to the school committee during the December 14th meeting. You can access the presentation, which has more details about our exact results by grade level, on the Norfolk Public Schools website under the Curriculum tab, as well as watch a recording of the December 14th school committee meeting during which I walk through the information.
Families who have children in grades 4 to 6 received their child’s results in early October. I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you an overview of our district results, as well as provide you with an update on the curriculum and instructional plan for the 2022/2023 school year. If you would like more information click on this link.
If you have any questions about the MCAS results or our curriculum plans, please feel free to reach out via email vsaldana@norfolk.k12.ma.us .
Sincerely,
Victoria Saldana
Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
