Greetings Spectrum High School Families,
During this beautiful rainy spring week, we have been busy here at SHS preparing both our 10th and 11th grade students for their respective MCA reading and math tests, which will be administered next Tuesday morning. Although MCAs are only one assessment of several that are given each year, they are an important measurement tool for our school. Our MCA results provide us with much needed data that we make extremely important decisions about including: yearly site goals, programming for future years, and responding to identified gaps in our instruction. Additionally, the positive impact a proficient MCA score now represents for a student cannot be understated when it comes to possible placement in some of our C@SH opportunities.
You can help us prepare your child for their experience next week by encouraging your student to:
- Get a good night's sleep
- Eat a healthy breakfast
- Read through questions carefully
- Come prepared with a fully charged Chromebook, charging cord, book and pencil
We thank you in advance for partnering with us and encouraging your child to put forth their best effort.
Weeks-at-a-glance:
- Tuesday, April 13th: 10th grade MCA reading / 11th grade MCA math (please note the change in the day’s schedule for both 9th and 12th graders)
- Thursday, April 15th: Severe weather drill @ SHS
