[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. First, it's a total of 6 days of testing btwn Mar and May - not "a day". And I don't recall saying I was worried they'd be "scarred".

Even though the tests are being downplayed by teachers, the results still appear in their files, per our Principal. If we decide we want to send them to private, or move to another country (a possibility for us), these scores follow them.

Our principal has been pretty clear from what I've heard that they will not put much stock in results this year. But the results do follow them. For some people, that might matter. [/quote]

It is not more than the DC CAS was:

The PARCC assessment is administered in two parts:

Part 1: Performance-Based Assessment (reading and math)
Date: March 10–April 8, 2015
Measures writing, research skills, and the student’s ability to solve multistep math problems

Part 2: End-of-Year Assessment (reading and math)
Date: May 7–June 5, 2015
Measures reading comprehension and math concepts and skills through multiple-choice and short-answer questions

NOTE: Students are not testing every day during the date ranges. Each school will determine its testing days and will let you know exactly when your child will be testing. Total PARCC testing time will generally be the same as total DC-CAS testing for each student. [/quote]
