Courtesy On Tuesday, March 26, Park Avenue Elementary hosted ¨A Familyś Guide to the MCAS Assessment Night. Approximately 80 parents and students attended this evening for the purpose of putting parents and guardians at ease regarding this important assessment, while supporting them in a better understanding of MCAS; as well as providing tips as to how best help their children in being prepared on the days of testing. Bartlett High School students from their National Honor Society and members of the Student Council provided child care during the presentation portion which allowed parents to watch the slide show, take notes, and ask ques- tions freely. Mexicali played an important role in this evening by providing an entire taco bar for the parents, students, and staff so they could attend this import- ant event without the worry of having to make supper beforehand. Carlos, the owner of Mexicali, generously donated all of the fixings to make delicious tacos, took the time to set everything up (including the mariachi music!), and clean after- wards…and did so simply to support our school and our students!
