Link: MCAS Schedule
This year our students will be taking the MCAS on the computer. This is a change for our students as we have historically completed MCAS testing using paper/ pencil materials. As is true with any change, there will be some challenges associated with our transition to the computer based platform. As a staff, we will be working together to support our students through this change.
For more information on MCAS, please see the link from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
Worcester Bravehearts Reading Program
Students who were interested had the opportunity to bring home bookmarks from the Worcester Bravehearts this week regarding the reading program this spring. This is completely VOLUNTARY and if students want to participate the Bravehearts have really streamlined the process this year. Students need only log into the following website: www.tickettoread.net in order to log their reading and prizes will be sent home directly from the team!
Note: We have plenty of bookmarks left if any students didn't receive one.
Full Day Kindergarten Lottery Registration Is Open
The registration for the Full Day Kindergarten Lottery is open. Please see the link below for further information.
A few things to be aware of:
