Threat of Winter Storm on Tuesday Postpones MCAS Testing
Due to the expected winter storm on Tuesday, the state announced that the MCAS English Language Arts Composition test for students in grades 4, 7 and 10 has been postponed.

Since much of Massachusetts is expecting a winter storm Tuesday, and with it the possibility of school closings or delayed openings, the MCAS English Language Arts Composition test for students in grades 4, 7 and 10 has been postponed until Monday, March 25, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced on its website.
Originally this composition test was scheduled for Tuesday, but in an effort to make sure all schools administer the test on the same day, "all schools must administer the ELA Composition test to students in grades 4, 7, and 10 on Monday, March 25, including schools that are not affected by the weather," according to a memo from Elizabeth Davis, Associate Commissioner of Student Assessment.
If there is school on Tuesday, the ELA Reading Comprehension test sessions that are scheduled may be administered, but not the ELA Composition test.
