The newest addition to the WKMC web page is the Word of the Day PowerPoint. The presentation features words from MCA Live’s PSSA Word of the Day segment. Don’t have PowerPoint? There is a link here for a free downloadable version. This version will allow you to view and save the PowerPoint. It is important to do your best on the PSSA’s for a number of reasons. In the long run, how you do affects our school’s day-to-day activities. The better we do on the test, the more likely additional extracurricular activities and field trips are made available for students. Prospective colleges and employers may look at how well your school has performed on the PSSA’s. Younger students will need to pass a form of the PSSA’s in order to receive a high school diploma. Although we sometimes complain about standardized tests, how well we do benefits us all and you might just win some special prizes this year.
MCA LIVE returns every school morning beginning September 21st. Catch the latest school news and information including academics, extracurricular, scholarship, and sports information.
