[Mdpobc] PARCC Information

Fri Feb 20 12:33:04 UTC 2015

Hello everyone,

There will be two opportunities for parents to learn about PARCC accommodations and also ask questions about these accommodations. I am not sure how much will be known about accommodations for blind students, but I would really encourage you to make your voices heard during one or both of these events. And, if there are questions you have which are not answered, please let me know ASAP so we can respond accordingly.
