MCAS - Let's work together!
NAMS has seen significant improvements in our MCAS scores thanks to our dedicated educators, our amazing students, and our partnership with you - our families!
You can continue your support in the following ways:
Be sure to encourage your child to have a good night’s sleep prior to their scheduled MCAS exam.
Students must charge their Chromebooks overnight so that they are fully charged for MCAS testing.
We encourage all students and families to make a concerted effort to be at school on time prior to their scheduled MCAS exam, by 7:45 a.m. Tardy students may not have the opportunity to test with their homeroom group if they arrive after the start of testing for that day.
Please be sure that your child has a healthy breakfast.
Students must bring a book or magazine to read after they have completed their test. No electronic devices will not be allowed.
Cell phones and other electronic devices, including smart watches, are not permitted during the testing sessions. Cell phones and smart watches should be locked in lockers or will need to be given to the test administrator to hold during testing.
If a student is absent, he/she/they should expect to be scheduled for a make-up exam when they return to school.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and support.
NAMS Building Project
Everything continues to go according to plan and we are very excited to add a new wing and more classes to NAMS for the 2025-2026 school year. You can learn more about the project here.
Support Our Seniors (SOS) Needs Your Help!
DID YOU KNOW?
Every year, the North Andover community pulls together to provide a safe, fun-filled, substance-free, overnight celebration for the entire North Andover High School graduating class. This year’s May 31st “All-Knight” Graduation Party sponsored by Support Our Seniors, Inc. (SOS) marks the event’s 30th anniversary, making it one of the longest running of its kind!
The annual efforts of a dedicated committee, dozens of volunteers, and generous donations of
food and funds by numerous local businesses and individuals highlight how much this tradition is valued in our town.
Please help keep this wonderful tradition going, and one day soon you’ll sleep well knowing your own child has a safe place to celebrate on their graduation night. Please sign up at SOS Volunteers.
