PARCC is coming soon....
All students that are enrolled in a freshmen or sophomore ELA class will be taking the new PARCC state assessment, which has taken the place of NECAP. If you are unsure of the grade level of your student/yourself, just ask! The test will occur on March 17, 18, 19. Students will be taking the test right in our classroom with myself as the proctor.
Our class is not required to take the math PARCC, as it does not apply to the Integrated Math sections this year.
