Week at a Glance
Monday, May 27th
“Freedom does not come without a price.
We may sometimes take for granted
the many liberties we enjoy in America,
but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice
paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.”
- Charlie Dent

MCAP (PARCC) Testing Schedule
PLEASE NOTE: Adjustments to the schedule have been made and are reflected on the Week at a Glance, the schedule below, and the RES School Calendar.
It is important for students to arrive to school on time. Please review the schedule for your child's testing day and time. We understand that medical appointments may need to be scheduled. We would greatly appreciate your support in scheduling any appointments around your child's testing times as all students are required to complete these assessments.
By working together, we can make your child's test experience positive and successful. Here are some suggestions that you can do to help your child succeed:
- Make sure your child gets a good night's rest.
- Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast at home or talk to him/her about making sure he/she eats breakfast at school.
- Make sure your child arrives to school on time.
We are incredibly proud of how hard our students have worked and how much they have grown!
Together, let's encourage them to show their talents and skills on these assessments. ALL students have talents and these assessments are one way we can see how far they've grown academically!
