In the May 11 principal report to the Board of Education, the 7–12 principal said NSCAS testing for 7th–8th grades is finished, listed district music contest placements and track meet achievements, and confirmed awards day and the May 13 early dismissal.
At the Wakefield Public Schools Board of Education meeting on May 11, the 7–12 principal reported that NSCAS testing for seventh- and eighth-grade students in English language arts, mathematics and science is complete and reiterated the district’s Guiding Principle III on data-based decision making.
The report listed district music contest results by student and ensemble, naming several vocal and instrumental soloists and duets as well as choir and band placements.
