Important Announcement About PARCC at UMS!
We will begin the tests PROMPTLY AT 8:00. Please make sure if your child is a walker that they leave plenty of time to get to school and in their class by 8:00 AM.
Please do not schedule any doctor's or other appointments in the morning on those days. PARCC will be administered in the morning. Best to not schedule any appointments until after 12:00.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD'S CHROME BOOK IS CHARGING EVERY NIGHT DURING TESTING! WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CHROME BOOKS TO GIVE OUT TO STUDENTS WHO FORGOT THEIRS OR DID NOT CHARGE THEIR CHROME BOOK THE NIGHT BEFORE. IF YOUR CHILD HAS THEIR OWN DEVICE, THEY MAY NOT USE IT FOR TESTING. THEY WILL RECEIVE A LOANER FOR TESTING.
It is important during this time to allow your child plenty of time to rest and sleep. Avoid a sudden change in routines and understand that their stress levels will increase in the weeks before and during the PARCC exam. Please be patient with your child as they go through this phase in their learning this year.
Each LA and Math teacher has been providing PARCC preparation. There are websites they have been directing students to go to when they want to prepare and sample some PARCC questions. Please allow time over the next few weeks to allow your child to show you how they are preparing for their exams and sample a few questions with them!
Also, your child saw their last PARCC results and set a goal for themselves on this next exam. Please ask them about their goal! We want every child to seek to improve their score from the year before.
