MCAS Information

The following tips will provide suggestions for parents on how to help prepare their children to take MCAS tests.

Mark down test days on your calendar so you and your child are both aware of testing dates.

Make sure that your child gets enough sleep on the night before testing.

Make sure that your child gets up early enough so that he/she will be on time to school.

Ensure that your child eats a healthy breakfast and avoids heavy foods that may make him/her groggy and high sugar foods that may make him/her hyper.

Remind your child to relax and take time to listen to and read all the directions.
