MCAS Supports
Dear Parents and/or Guardians:
For students who could use targeted practice to prepare for the computer-based MCAS assessments, we are providing instructional support during Titan Time. Titan Time is a daily enrichment block that runs from 12:47-1:22 pm. In addition to MCAS practice, Titan Time will also be utilized to reinforce and support classroom instruction.
Students may be pre-scheduled for Titan Time in ELA, social studies, science or math with their respective teacher based on their previous MCAS scores or on their recent academic progress. Titan Time supports will not change a student’s overall schedule in any way.
Please contact me (donna.mcgarrigle@pembrokek12.org) or your child’s guidance counselor (Grade 7: erin.goitia@pembrokek12.org; Grade 8: joanne.mcclune@pembrokek12.org) if you have any questions regarding these supports.
Thank you.

PCMS Bus Reminder:
Students are only allowed to ride their assigned bus to and from school. If there is an emergency contact us but as a practice we do not allow passes for ‘social’ reasons.
PCMS Attendance Line:
When reporting your child absent, please call the main number and then you will be prompted to PRESS 4 to report your child absent. Please use this prompt so we limit the number of calls to the front office in the mornings when it is a very busy time for us.
