North Dorchester High School News

With the strange week behind us, we're moving on to 3 more days of Math/ELA MCAP testing.

Just a few reminders for this week:

-Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday are 2 hour delay days for students NOT testing.

-Friday will be a NORMAL day for ALL students.

-There will be 2 bus runs, one at normal time and one approximately 2 hours later. We suggest being out at the bus stop a little earlier since each trip will have less students and will run faster. Only students who are testing should arrive by 8:05am

-Restart your computer and make sure it's fully charged for testing! Bring your charger, too.

-All book bags and devices will need to be stored in your locker or you will be asked to leave them in the hallway.

-We continue to be pleased with students following the Personal Devices Guidelines.
