Despite the never-ending winter weather, we hope spring sunshine and warmer temperatures are right around the corner. With spring, comes MCAS testing. Please keep the upcoming testing dates in mind. 

Students in designated grades will participate in MCAS testing on the dates listed above. We are sharing the schedule early to help families avoid absences whenever possible. Strong attendance during testing is important, as these assessments provide valuable information about student learning and school progress.

Thank you for your support!
