Parent MCAS Pages
Your child will take many MCAS tests over the course of their educational career. Your most important job as a parent is to see that students come to school ready to take their tests: well rested, eating a good breakfast (either at home or at school) and well prepared. To help you understand your child's MCAS test, we have posted past copies of the exams. If you have any concerns about your child and the MCAS, please speak with your child's teacher(s). If needed, they can direct you to specialized MCAS remedial and practice courses which are available both during the school year and during the summer months.
