MCAS 2024
Every student in grades 3, 4, and 5 across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be taking MCAS tests in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, Grade 5 students will also have Science and Technology tests.
Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in helping students perform their best on these tests. At King, teachers and students have been diligently preparing, learning, and reinforcing the content and skills needed for success throughout the year. While the MCAS provides just one perspective on a student's abilities, it's important for students to feel confident and prepared. There are several ways you can support your child in showcasing their best on test day. Here are some suggestions:
Night before the test:
- Ensure your child gets enough sleep for a well-rested mind.
- Stick to your regular routine to avoid causing unnecessary stress or uncertainty.
- Stay positive and trust in your child's abilities.
- Plan ahead to prevent any morning conflicts.
Morning of the test:
- Remind your child to leave all electronic devices at home as they are not permitted during testing.
- Wake up a bit earlier to avoid rushing and ensure your child arrives at school on time.
- Encourage your child to have a nutritious breakfast before the test; remember all students can get a breakfast at King free of charge.
- Dress your child in comfortable clothing for maximum focus.
- Provide positive encouragement and remind your child that this is their opportunity to shine by demonstrating what they know. The most important thing is that they give their best effort!
It's crucial for all students to be present and to arrive on time.
Thank you for your ongoing support!

Family Pickup & Drop-off Reminders
- Reminder: If you are dropping your child at school prior to 9:05, please be sure to go around the building and drop at door 18 (in the back). Please do not drop in the front of the school unless you are after 9:05. This is a safety issue due to the many cars and busses coming in/out of the property. Thank you!
- IMPORTANT REMINDER: If you are making any changes to your child's daily dismissal plan, please call our main office at (508) 782-7201. You may also email Yenitza Vargas, Office Manager at yvargas@framingham.k12.ma.us or Erika Leite-Amaral, Assistant Office Manager at eleiteamaral@framingham.k12.ma.us . If you email a dismissal change to your student's classroom teacher, please be sure to CC the office staff as well. We ask that all dismissal changes are communicated to us by 2:20 PM to ensure consistent, efficient, and safe dismissal procedures for all students, staff, and families. Thank you!
