Our state should make the decision now to abandon high stakes M-STEP testing this year. Our students have enough stress and anxiety. Our focus should be on supporting our students without the worry of returning to tests. @GovWhitmer

How do you say snow day? There are a lot of ways. You’ll need to figure out how to say it because Wednesday, February 26, 2020, is a snow day @NCSD . The high probability of an all day Wednesday accumulating snow event makes us err on the side of caution.
