Student are also encouraged to make corrections on the assessment. They should meet with me first if they are interested in doing so.

Science NECAP

On Weds (5/18) and Thurs (5/19) of this week, 8th grade students on our team will take a NECAP assessment in science. The NECAP assessment tests students' general science knowledge and ability to conduct a science investigation. It is recommended that students get plenty of sleep and eat breakfast on those days to best prepare them for the exam. If you have any questions, please contact me.

5/12 & 5/13 Science

In preparation for the 8th grade science NECAP exam next week, 7th and 8th grade students took the district assessment "Rainy Day Morning" on Thursday and Friday. The "Rainy Day Morning" assessment tests students ability to design and conduct an experiment, skills we've been working on in science throughout the whole year. I hope to score the assessments and return them before the NECAP next week to give students feedback on their inquiry skills and to improve test scores in this domain. Please contact me if you have any questions.
