at Matas Elementary on Thursday, May 1, 2014. Matas Elementary has to find ways prepare for the computerized PARCC assessment test in the 2014-2015 school year. Without enough computers or wifi capabilities, they are referring to this year as "transitional" according to assistant principal Liz Gurtner. "We don't want the technology for the kids to be the blockage for doing well and it takes a few years for them to get prepared." The second grade glass is using Promethean boards, audio assisted reading exercises, and a mix of computers and pencil-based testing to prepare them for the computer testing in 5th grade.
