In anticipation of severe weather that may result in numerous school closings and delayed openings tomorrow, Tuesday, March 19 the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Educationhas decided to postpone the administration of the MCAS ELA Composition test originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, until Monday, March 25.
All schools must administer the ELA Composition test to students in grades 4, 7, and 10 on Monday, March 25, including schools that are not affected by the weather. For security reasons it is critical that all schools administer the ELA Composition on the same day. Even schools that are unaffected by the storm must wait until Monday, March 25, to administer the test.
