THIS WEEK AT CHS (June 2-6)


Grade 9 MCAS Biology Exams -- June 2 and 3

Friday, May 30                 MCAS assembly
Monday, June 2                MCAS Biology Exam, Session 1
Tuesday, June 3                MCAS Biology Exam, Session 2



Canton High School freshmen are ready to excel on this year's MCAS Biology exam this week. Building on a terrific foundation from the past and rigorous preparation this year, our Grade 9 students are prepared to demonstrate their knowledge at a high level. CHS annually performs well on the MCAS Biology exam and I'm expecting even better results this year.


Knowing that our freshman need rest and time to focus on the MCAS exams, sophomores will have no tests or homework during the MCAS exam period. An important note: Once the students start the exam, Grade 9 dismissals are not allowed. Students must work on the exam continuously and complete the exam on the day it was started.

Attendance each day is very important.

As always, the Canton High School staff and administration offer these reminders for success: 
  • Work hard and do the best you can on the exam
  • Enter the exam rested and knowing that you are prepared
  • Eat a good breakfast on the day of the exams 
  • Remember that CHS serves breakfast for $1.50
  • Work diligently and at a pace that works for you. 
  • You have unlimited time until the end school day. No need to rush.
  • Strive to achieve advanced or proficient on the exam.                                                                                                  Push yourself to exceed expectations.
  • Demonstrate strong writing on every open response. The writing can                                                                       make the difference.
  • Read actively and use good strategies to determine the answer.
  • Know that you have the support of the entire Canton School Community.
  • Embrace the opportunity to be great.
