Upcoming -- MCA Testing

The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA’s) are rapidly approaching! The tests are administered every year to measure student performance relative to the Minnesota Academic Standards that specify what students in a particular grade should know and be able to do. While the tests are used for federal and state accountability measurements, the tests are also used by educators to improve classroom teaching and learning.

Testing Dates:

Reading: April 12-13 (All School)
Math: April 25-26 (All School)
Science: May 2 (8th Grade)

The daily schedule is adjusted for the Math & Reading testing. With a few exceptions, students will test school-wide in their 4th period classroom. The testing time each day is 9:58-11:23. If you are scheduling appointments, or your student needs to come to school late, or get picked up early, we would be most thankful if you can try to have them at school during this window of time.
