Dear UMAC Parents,
Dear UMAC Parents,
Last week I shared our PARCC testing schedule with you. In preparation for the text, we are going to continue working on test taking skills and strategies at school. To kick off the PARCC test, we had an assembly today where students watched a special “PARCC it Off” video that featured WC teachers and students dancing! We all had a great time! :)

At home, if you could please spend a few minutes each week looking over the comprehension passages with your UMAC reader, this would help tremendously. These passages are given to students each Monday and due on Friday. It is important for students to go back into the text to check their answers and support their written answers with evidence from the passage. The time spent on these passages may be counted on the WEB calendar!
Thanks so much for your continued support,
April Ebert
