MCAS: Access and Achievement for Students with Disabilities
Speaker: Federation for Children with Special Needs (www.fcsn.org)
This workshop introduces the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) and how children with disabilities can participate in meaningful ways in MCAS. This is a very important workshop because every student needs to pass the MCAS to graduate high school. MCAS begins in the Third Grade through High School.
All Tyngsborough SEPAC meetings are free and open to the public.
Robotics is Back
The TMS robotics team is back for its second year and we are looking to build on last year's success. We are looking for new members to join the team and we are are also looking for some financial help. We could really use some donations from high tech companies to help fund our team. The starting price for a returning team is $1,500. Last year we were lucky enough to have a couple of companies donate money which gave us the ability to field two teams (THS and TMS). We are hoping to get similar support this year, so if you work for a high tech company or know someone who does, and that company is willing to donate please let Mr.Boisvert at THS know! adam.boisvert@tyngsboroughps.org
We are also accepting Box Tops to help raise money. Our first TMS robotics meeting was held on Tuesday November 27th. If your child wasn't able to make the meeting, please contact Mr.Boisvert with any questions.
