We have changed plans and will not be testing all of our students next week on iReady and m-Class. Only students who receive extra reading and/or math services will be tested. Due to the amount of snow days we have had, we are going to continue teaching. I am sorry for the miscommunication. Have a great night!
Hello, Metacomet Families. I want you to know that our students will begin their third round of testing the week of March 9. The students will test their reading and math skills on the computer using iReady and m-Class Dibbles. We will share the results during our Parent Conferences during the week of March 23. Thank you!

Book Voyagers programs promote the joy of reading and encourage families to create literature-rich home environments. Participants connect to the written word through discussion circles, storytelling, interactive workshops, and hands-on activities such as dramatic readings, theater games, and writing and drawing exercises. All participants receive copies of the books to keep.
Book Voyagers programs are designed to work with libraries, schools, and other community organizations to help parents/caregivers and children build reading skills and bring stories to life, while also helping families to grow their home libraries for continued success.
Families should plan on attending all the program dates in this series or as many they can. Light snacks will be provided.
Registration is required. Best for children in grades 1–3.
