The students at BAMS have being doing such a fabulous job persevering through MCAP and iReady. I'm so proud of them. We still have Math MCAP remaining this week. Here's a recap of the ways you can help your child prepare:

• Ask your child to charge their device every night.
• Ensure they have wired earbuds for testing use (Bluetooth connection is not permitted).
• Ensure that your child is at school and on time (by 8:05) for testing. Arriving late may mean that your child will miss academic classes for make-up testing.
• Help your child get a good night's sleep by taking away distractions and setting an early bed time.
• Avoid scheduling any appointments and early dismissals until after 11:00.

BAMS Testing Dates (testing begins after homeroom):

• Math: 5/14, 5/15

Principal Silk
