Monday is: Day D
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to our families, friends, neighbors, students, faculty and staff who assisted Point Webster at our annual Cleaner Greener Quincy event this past Saturday. From planting flowers, raking mulching and bagging up yard waste we can't thank you enough for your work as our school grounds look beautiful!
We will begin our Math MCAS Testing this week with grades 5 and 8 testing on Tuesday. We ask that you please make sure that your child charges their QPS chrome book on the evening before testing and brings their QPS chrome book and charger to school on testing days. Please be sure that your child has a good nights sleep and we will have free breakfast in the cafeteria for all students prior to testing from 7:45-8:15 am.

Gr. 5 and Gr. 8 Math - May 7 and May 9
Gr. 5 and Gr. 8 STE - May 14 and May 16

All Grade 8 students will be taking the ImPACT Test in their Health Class before the conclusion of the school year. This baseline will provide valuable information for doctors to have on record in the event that a student incurs any type of head injury. Also, students/athletes at the high school level are required to complete this testing in order to participate in sports at Quincy High School and North Quincy High School. The test will be administered on the students’ chromebooks and will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. Students are not allowed to leave the room or take any breaks during the test. Chromebooks need to be fully charged on the day of testing.
