PARCC


Well PARCC is finally coming our way.  This week we will start our state testing with PARCC.  The test start Thursday 3/26 and we go everyday till 4/1.  We start with 2 days of Math, then 3 days of ELA.   The students will be using the Chrome Books to take  all the tests.    The students are allowed to bring their own headphones to use.  Some students find the school headphones tight and uncomfortable, feel free to send some in from home. Students are ready and there does not seem to be much anxiety,  all we can ask is that they try to do their best.  My message to them is not to stress, but take it seriously.  Please make sure your child has breakfast.  If that is not in their normal routine, and you can't get them to eat, feel free to send an extra snack with them that they can eat when they get to school, please try to keep it to a simple snack.  They can have their water bottles on the floor.  All will be well!
