CALCULATOR NEEDED FOR DCCAS!

Students need to bring a simple calculator (add, sub, mult, div, and square root operations) to school ASAP. The DCCAS testing begins April 19, 2010. The calculator can be used on 1 of the 4 mathematics sections on the test. Most simple calculators can be bought for about $5 at CVS, Rite Aid, Staples, or Office Depot. Check www.officedepot.com and search item # 582114 for one example. More advanced calculators can be used if students are already familiar with how to use them.

We have been preparing for the DCCAS over the past few weeks so students have not had very many written HW assignments. Please ask your student about the Comprehensive Study Guide I gave them to study for the DCCAS. They should review this document a few times over the weekend. Thanks for giving your student every opportunity to succeed on this year's test.
