PARCC Reminder

Coming home tomorrow is a reminder regarding PARCC, protocols, etc.  The note is also below:
----------------------------------------

Parents & Guardians,

The next two weeks, third grade students will be taking the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, also known as PARCC.  Below you’ll see the specific days and times third graders will be testing.

• PARCC Mathematics, 4/18/ 16- 4/21/16
• Monday-Thursday, 9:30-11:30 AM

• PARCC English Language Arts, 4/27/16- 4/29/16
• Wednesday- Friday, 9:30-11:30 AM

At Riverside, in effort to alleviate any potential anxiety or stress, we try to keep our schedules and routines as normal and consistent as possible during testing.  However, you can expect the following during testing weeks:

During testing weeks:

• On-time Arrival:  Please be mindful of testing times.  It’s critical students arrive on-time during testing days as third grade tests in the morning.
• Cellphones: PARCC prohibits the use of cellphones during testing.  If your child brings a phone to school, we will have to keep it outside the classroom, secured.
• Homework:  You can expect your child to come home with less homework than usual, as the tests require a lot from students.

As always, please contact by email or phone with questions or concerns.

Thank you for your support,

Third Grade Team
