Soon we start our MCAS testing. We will begin with English Language Arts this month, followed by the Math and Science portions in May. We need your help in preparing your child for this important test. Below are a few tips to help them be successful during the tests.
Make sure your child gets a good night sleep.
Make sure your child has a good breakfast before school.
Have your child arrive at school on time (7:45 Upper School 8:35 Lower School) and relaxed.
Encourage your child to do the best work possible and to have a positive attitude.
Encourage your child to listen to and read all the directions carefully.
Attendance is EXTREMELY important during this time.

*************************************************
Please be aware of the important information below:
School Times:
Students should NOT be dropped off more than 15 minutes early.
Upper School (5-8) 7:50-2:15
Lower School (K-4) 8:30-3:00
Drop off and Dismissal:
In order to have a smooth and safe dismissal for both upper and lower schools it is important that all parents dropping off and picking up students use the parent drop off/ pick up line.
Parent pick-up line times:
In order to get all parents and buses through in a timely fashion it is imperative that Lower School parents arrive at 2:30 or later. Parents who show up earlier than that will just interfere with the Upper School Dismissal and Bus Routes
