LOST & FOUND ITEMS
MARYLAND COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Over the next two months, students in grades three, four and five will participate in MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) for state-wide testing in math and reading. This computer based, standardized assessment is administered to all 3rd-5th graders in Maryland. The MCAP assessments in ELA and Math focus on the content outlined in the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards for each grade level. The Math assessment consists of four session each approximately 40 minutes in length. The ELA assessment consists of four sessions each approximately 70 minutes in length. More information regarding MCAP assessments in math and ELA can be found: Division of Assessment, Accountability, and Performance Reporting (marylandpublicschools.org).
There is nothing your child can study to prepare for this assessment other than get a good night’s sleep, eat a good breakfast and do his/her best. Students will complete one session each day on their assigned testing date (schedule below). If a student is absent, we will work with teachers to make up the missed sessions.
The dates and times for testing are as follows:
Grade 4 ELA May 9, 10, 12 & 13 at 10:35 am – 1 pm
Grade 5 ELA May 9, 10, 12 & 13 at 9:35 am – 12 pm
