Two more days of school this week, but still packed with stuff!

Wednesday, March 27th and Thursday, March 28th

  • MCAS Exams
    The MCAS long composition for students in grades 4 & 7 took place on Monday. The ELA reading comprehension portion for students in grades 3-8 will take place Wednesday, March 27th and Thursday, March 28th. Adequate rest, proper nutrition, and daily attendance directly impact student performance on the MCAS. We encourage you to discuss the importance of these tests with your child and assist him/her in maintaining an appropriate schedule during this testing period. If you have any questions or concerns about the MCAS tests, please contact Principal Slater at 617-635-8239.

    The very best of success to all our MCAS students!
