The year is flying by!!! Please read the following important information about some upcoming dates.....

Hard to believe we are almost into the month of April!  Here are some important dates and information for you to keep in mind....

MCAS and PARCC is next week! 
Tuesday and Wednesday is the ELA fourth grade MCAS.  This is an un-timed test and will consist of reading passages, multiple choice questions, and open response questions.
Thursday's PARCC test is a 60 minute timed test consisting of a reading passage, multiple choice questions, and a narrative.
Some things to keep in mind:
This should NOT be a stressful experience for your child.  They have worked hard all year and will do a great job.
They should get to school on time on testing days.
Bring ONE EXTRA HEALTHY snack for the morning.
Have two books to read for when testing is complete.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Thursday is also a 1/2 day for students!

Ancestor Forms are due on April 4th - if you are in need of another copy, please let me know!

Family Tree Posters are due on April 11th - again, any questions, feel free to get in touch with me!

School vacation week (yay!) is April 18th - 22nd!!!
