Happy Spring! I know that we are all looking forward to some sunshine and warm weather after such a long, cold, and snowy winter. Throughout the month of March our students completed the Performance Based Assessment portion of the PARCC. The End of Year portion of PARCC testing will begin the week of April 27 for students in sixth grade. Fifth and eighth grade students will take the PARCC during May 4 and seventh and fourth grade students will take the PARCC the week of May 11. Make up testing will take place as needed throughout the entire testing window of April 27-May22.
