PARCC
Parent/Guardian Information Night
Memorial Middle
School and Jacobs Elementary School will host a PARCC information night for the
parents and guardians of students in Grades K through 8 on Tuesday, January 13,
2015 at 7:00 pm at Memorial Middle school.
PARCC is the new standardized test in English Language Arts and Math that will replace the current state test we all know as
MCAS. There are several ways that PARCC is different from MCAS. Most notably,
PARCC is a computer based test.
At the information night we will be able to answer
questions, address concerns, and assist families with understanding the
differences between the tests as well as the preparation students need to be
ready for the new test. All parents and guardians are invited and encouraged to
attend.
The Jacobs School staff wishes to thank the PTO for the coffee and bake sale at the Winter Concert and a special thank you to Mr. Joe DiVito, Jr., of Weinberg’s Bakery, who generously donated all of the scrumptious goodies.
The Winter Concert will be held on Thursday, December 18th. The morning preschool through grade 1 students will begin their concert at 9:00AM. Students in grades 2 & 3 will perform at 10:15AM. The afternoon preschool students and students in grades 4 & 5 will begin their performance at 1:30PM. Please carpool if possible and park in designated areas only. Roadways and entrances must be kept clear for emergency vehicle access at all times.
