All grade 9 students are taking the Math MCAS next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. In preparation for this test, here are a few timely reminders:
MCAS counts! It is a graduation requirement. Demonstrating competency on MCAS is one of the state requirements for receiving a high school diploma. Do your best.
HERE is a student friendly test room location document that shares where most grade 9 students will be testing. A handful of students will be testing in rooms other than those indicated on this chart. Those students will receive a pass in X block before they report to testing.
Bring your Chromebook and charger! Students have school-issued Chromebooks and they must bring them fully charged on each testing day.
If you have any issues with your school-issued device, you must contact Robin Frank, rfrank@attleboroschools.com prior to testing.
Freshmen: We believe you all have the ability to be successful on this test. Your teachers have worked hard to prepare you for this moment, and we’re sure that you have worked hard as well. Being successful on this test is a way for you to demonstrate BLUE PRIDE to yourself, your family, your teachers, and the whole school community. We all believe in you!

District Graduation Walk
Yesterday our Seniors traveled down memory lane and walked the halls of both their APS elementary and middle schools. The younger students cheered, smiled and congratulated them all while they visited their old schools. Staff throughout the district shared how wonderful it was to see the graduates in cap and gowns and so grown up. The Seniors said they truly enjoyed the opportunity to return to where it all started
