This is a reminder to all 10th graders and their families that MCAS testing in mathematics will begin tomorrow. It is extremely important that all 10th grade students are present in school for both days of testing.
Please be sure to take the following into account when preparing for the Mathematics MCAS:
1. Bring a calculator you are familiar with to all testing sessions. There are many portions of the test where calculators are allowed. Students will preform best with a calculator they are familiar with. The school has some calculators to lend, but they are not scientific calculators and may not have all of the capabilities of the calculator you use regularly.
2. Get plenty of rest before MCAS. It is important you are prepared to do your best work when the testing begins at 7:25.
3. Eat a nutritious breakfast. You will be testing for 2.5 - 3.5 hours in most cases, with few breaks. Please come to school prepared for this by eating well in the morning.
Good luck to all of our 10th graders!
