PARCC Questions

Folks,
As many of you have heard, the state is exploring the implementation of the PARCC assessment. This year, students in other schools within the district will be taking PARCC, but at the high school our students will still be taking MCAS. The Class of 2018, our current freshmen class, will still need to pass the MCAS in order to receive a diploma from BHS. In time, even the high school could be implementing PARCC as its competency determination exam, so parents should begin to educate themselves on the topic. The following link will bring you to a website that can help you develop a better understanding of PARCC and of the process the state has been using to explore this exam.

November 4, 2014- No School

Dear BHS Parents and Students,
The Braintree School Committee voted at its meeting held on Monday evening, October 6th, to close school for all students on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4th. As a result, BHS will not be running classes on November 4th and students will have no school.

Please plan accordingly. Thank you.
