Grade 8 MCAS Advice

Good afternoon!

We are proud of the effort and focus that our grade 8 students brought to MCAS this morning. Talking with some students after, there were some recommendations from students that we thought we would share.

First, make sure iPads are charged tonight. That reduces the worry of losing power mid-test. Also, students felt that sometimes the "clicking" of some fingers against keyboards could be distracting, so wearing earbuds or headphones, even without any music or sound coming from them, may help muffle that sound and mitigate the distraction.

The students seemed very focused and did a great job of taking their time and following instructions. We certainly hope that their efforts will be rewarded!

Thank you!

Michael Rubin, Principal
