NECAPs

We have been working extremely hard preparing for the NECAP testing that begins this Thursday, October 7^th and ends on Tuesday, October 19^th. I’m impressed with how well every student has learned how to manage the stress of the test, tackle the “tricks” of the test makers, and assess their practice tests using rubrics. These strategies will help them in years to come with their future NECAPs, SATs, GREs, and so on.

It is essential for all students to get a lot of sleep each night; as a result, I will continue to not assign much homework. Please make sure your child gets a nutritious breakfast each morning. Also, please pack your child with balanced, healthy snacks and lunch (if applicable).

Makeup tests will be on Wednesday and Thursday, October 20^th and 21^st.

To celebrate the completion of the NECAPS and students hard work, we will have a pajama day on Friday, October 22^nd. During this day we will read and write independently, play math games, and partake in some team building activities.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please email me at rsmall@sau16.org or call the school at 772-5705.
