Tomorrow, Tuesday January 23rd, we will be administering the English Language Arts Grade 10 (ELA 10) MCAP. Only students who have been scheduled to take the test are to report to school tomorrow. There are only 138 students scheduled to test. For the majority, these students are 10th graders currently in a semester long English 10 course or 11th and 12th graders who still need to take the ELA 10 MCAP. The names of the student’s testing were on a whiteboard in townhall and the cafeteria and student’s testing should know who they are.Students who are not testing will not report to school tomorrow at all. These students will have virtual, asynchronous work to complete at home.Thank you for your patience and continued flexibility with the many changes to our testing schedule due to the impact of weather and adherence to State of Maryland testing guidelines.
