This Week on the Ridge
Congratulations to the members of the 7C's Community Service Club at the opening of their Little Lending Library Project which was recently installed in front of the school. Please feel to take a book, trade a book, or donate a book. It is open to all.
Math MCAS
This week all of our students in grades 3-6 will be taking the Math MCAS. Grades 3 & 5 will test on Monday and Tuesday. Grades 4 & 6 will test on Thursday and Friday.
Important Reminders for All Learners:
Have a good night’s sleep the night before
Eat a good breakfast
Be on-time to school
Do your best
Although we take the test seriously, we try not to put pressure on the students and want them to approach the test with the same process and mindset they do for other assessments. It is important that students know that MCAS scores are not going to be able to measure many things such as character, creativity, perseverance, or kindness. They will however, help us target resources to help close learning gaps and to celebrate the learning that has been achieved. All of our students should be proud of all their accomplishments, hard work, and efforts. Thank you for always supporting your children and our school.
