On the link below you will find more information on MSA results and how they can affect your child's future in High School.

Our goal is for every Middle School student to score at the proficient or advanced levels on their MSA's, so their chance of passing their HSA's a graduation requirement is maximized.

To do this all of us parents, students, and teachers must keep the goal clearly in mind and work together to make a difference for each child. Please read all the information carefully.

If you no longer have your child's MSA results. Please contact your child's teacher and they will be more than happy to help you.
