Threat of Winter Storm Postpones MCAS Testing

The English Language Arts Composition test for students in grades 4, 7 and 10 has been postponed to March 25.

Since much of Massachusetts is expecting a winter storm on Tuesday, and with it the possibility of numerous school closings or delayed openings, the MCAS English Language Arts Composition test for students in grades 4, 7 and 10 has been postponed to March 25, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced on its website

The postponement applies regardless of whether classes are canceled or delayed at specific schools. If there is school on Tuesday, any ELA Reading Comprehension test sessions that are scheduled may be administered.
