ELAC & State Testing

Dear Clyde W. Needham Families!


Only one more week of state testing!! Please talk to your children about the importance of eating healthy foods, getting good rest, and doing their very best on the tests!

We request that you make sure your child is here at CW Needham on all test days so that they can complete the test with their peers in class. If you need to schedule an appointment or a time to be away from school, please do so on a date that will not interfere with our testing schedule.

For more information on the State Tests, what they are, and how you can support your child during this testing season, please check out the CAASPP Starting Smarter website.

Our Testing Schedule:

April 29 - May 3: 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th take Math and makeup tests


Sending all of our Needham Knights Peace and Blessings!

Have You Reported Your Students' Absence?

Don't forget to call if your child is out sick. If you do not call it will be an unexcused absence.

Your child should come to school everyday!

Picking Students Up

  • Please drive into the parking lot to pick up or drop off your child whenever possible

  • Please DO NOT cross the street on Pleasant Avenue in front of the school buildings or in front of the parking lot

  • Please DO NOT MAKE A U-Turn on Pleasant Avenue. For the safety of our students we request that you leave the area that you parked in the same direction that your car is facing when you parked.

  • Parents who walk up must wait in the designated area.

  • Students and parents that walk up to the parking lot from the south (Tokay St.) should enter the parking lot near the field and follow the sidewalk around the parking lot. This will keep students and adults from crossing traffic as it exits and enters the parking lot.

  • Students will not be allowed to exit the parking lot without a parent or guardian present unless they are walking home
