In an effort to send you information about PARCC and the score reports, we are developing a series of videos. The first video is available for your review. The topic is "How to Read Your Child's PARCC Score Report" and is available on our district website at the following: https://www.youtube.com/embed/yj77RQtIMLU

Future topics will include "Resources to Help Your Child at Home for Assessments" and "PARCC Scores Explained: English Language Arts & Mathematics"

 

 

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

SUBJECT: UPDATED Graduation Requirements for the Classes of 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019

 

The state has developed updated threshold scores that students will need to achieve on the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT in order to satisfy their assessment graduation requirement.

 

The redesigned PSAT/NMSQT was first administered to students in October 2015. As such, the previously issued threshold score of 40 in reading and mathematics is no longer applicable for certain students. More specifically, for those students who took the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT in October 2015, and for those students who will take the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT in future administrations, a 22 on reading and a 22 on mathematics will satisfy their assessment graduation requirement.

 

The updated chart below details how students can satisfy their assessment graduation requirement.
