It is nearly time for our Sullivan Stallions to take MCAS tests in ELA, Mathematics, and STE (Science, Technology, Engineering for grades 5 and 8 only). 

To ensure that all students are offered the best possible testing experience, the school has developed a list of procedures for students to follow.  

Families are asked to review the testing calendar and discuss the list of procedures/rules with their children to ensure that everyone is prepared, and aware of the consequences during this important time.
