MCAS Testing 2021 | North Reading Public School District

Dear Parents of Students in Grades Three, Four and Five,

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education has released the state assessment testing window for our Grades 3 through 5 Students.

This year, the testing window opens on April 5, 2021 and continues through May 28, 2021. The exact dates for specific tests will be added the school calendar in the very near future. I have created a schedule that affords equal opportunities to both cohort A and B students. I am holding off on officially releasing the schedule as I am anticipating some additional guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Education.

I am writing to you today to let you know that we will begin our infrastructure trials next week. This process does involve the student population.

Furthermore, I am waiting on additional guidance from them regarding a few matters, specifically remote only students.

As we get closer to the above noted dates I will send along additional information.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in this important matter.

Sincerely,

Glen S. McKay, Principal
