The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) are just around the corner! Here's what you need to know:

🗓️ 10th Graders at the High School and 5th Grade Elementary Students - testing starts next week (due to today's cancellation). Testing will continue for the month of April, for 3rd -5th graders, Middle School Students, and 10th-11th Graders at the High School

🔒 It's important that students maintain test security by following local protocols and refraining from discussing test content.

ℹ️ These assessments, built off the Minnesota State Standards, reflect what students are taught throughout the year, helping us refine the educational experience for all.

For the full testing calendar, visit our district website: https://www.lfalls.k12.mn.us/academics/assessments

Let's showcase all that our students have learned this year! Thank you for your cooperation and support. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 📚✏️
