Students who took Biology Semester 1 will take the Biology portion of the MCA test. All other students will have a normal school day.

We ask that you support testing by having your child present on all testing days. Testing will

begin promptly by 9:15am. All MCAs are online, so students need to bring their school

issued chromebook and charger to school on their testing days.

The following are ways to help your child to prepare for testing:

- have them get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast

- be supportive and encourage them to do their best

- students only have one opportunity to take the test, so encourage them to take

their time and read carefully

More information about statewide testing is available on the Minnesota Department of

Education website at education.mn.gov . Go to “students and families” > “programs and

initiatives” > “statewide testing”.

Thank you and please reach out with questions!
