MCAS
Students in grades three and four are scheduled to participate in MCAS Math testing this week. Fourth graders will test on Tuesday and Wednesday, and third graders will test on Thursday and Friday .
The state provides us with strict guidelines for student participation. Please make sure that your student arrives to school on time. Students that arrive after the test session begins will not be able to join their peers until after the session is complete. If a student is absent or misses a testing session, a make-up test will be provided if the student returns to school during the testing window.
Next Year
Please contact Mrs. Brewster if your home address is changing or if your child will be attending school outside of Billerica. We are in the process of planning for 2019/2020 school year.
Recess
Please do not allow your child to bring baseballs, baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, or hard footballs to play with during recess. Soccer balls, Nerf balls, and basketballs are allowed. If you have any questions about allowed recess items, please contact the main office or your child's teacher.
Sports Equipment
If your child needs to bring his or her sports equipment to school, the items must be left in the main office. This includes baseball bats and lacrosse sticks.
