NCSU News and Announcements
From the desk of Aaron Miller, NCSU STEM Instructional Coach
Students have been working hard all year to prepare for this event. Local fair winners from six schools will represent their communities in an SU wide competition for the best science and engineering projects in the NEK. The winners will share thousands of dollars in gifts and prizes donated from our generous sponsors. The Career Center STEM Club is volunteering time to host many fun hands-on STEM activities that day. Parents of students participating in the competition are welcome to attend. Please check in at the North Country Career Center entrance.
Important recognition for Career & Technical Education and North Country Career Center! Karen Chitambar, Transportation Science Technology Instructor and students Ally Hammond, Noah Wilson and Payton Lefebvre meet the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, the US Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona; and the Governor of Vermont, Phil Scott at BETA Technologies in Burlington. Karen and her students were honored to represent emerging technologies and how CTE exponentially increases learning opportunities for Vermont secondary students.

VTCAP Parent/Guardian Letter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This year, the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) will implement the Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program (VTCAP), provided by Cognia, in place of the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC) and Vermont Science Assessment (VTSA). This new vendor relationship is the result of a required competitive bid process at the VT AOE.
NCSU schools will administer the general assessments this year between April 12 and May 26, 2023. Alternate assessments will be administered prior to the April break. The following grades will be tested:
VTCAP Language Arts and Mathematics (General or Alternate): Grades 3-9
VTCAP Science Assessment (General and Alternate): Grades 5, 8, and 11
Tests can be administered at any time during the test window and will be administered in the school building during the typical school day. The schedule for testing in your school will be sent home at a later date. The estimated length of the test sessions ranges between 125 minutes to 170 minutes, depending on the subject. However, this is an untimed test, meaning students will have as much time as needed to complete it.
After all students have completed testing, Individual Student Reports will be sent to families via US Postal or attached to the last progress report of the year in June. These reports will provide information on what your student(s) learned in relation to the statewide academic standards. When reviewing test scores, it is important to consider that these tests provide a broad overview of demonstrated learning and that results are most useful when viewed in the context of other information gathered by the teacher and the school.
Please note that Vermont’s test delivery system uses state-of-the-art security features that protect your students’ privacy and adhere to all federal and state confidentiality regulations.
To learn more about the VTCAP, please visit the VT AOE Comprehensive Assessment Program website.
If you have any questions, please contact your local school principal or the NCSU Director of Learning Design, Jessica Applegate: jessica.applegate@ncsuvt.org or 802-334-5847.

Affordable Connectivity Program Information for Families
If your family is struggling to afford the monthly cost of internet, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) may be helpful. The ACP is a federal program created as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that extends and modifies the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. Its purpose is to help qualified households pay for connectivity services such as wireless and internet plans. The ACP provides discounts of up to $30 on monthly broadband internet access service (or up to $75 per eligible household on qualifying tribal lands) and up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer from participating providers. To see if you qualify, visit afforadableconnectivity.gov for more information and go to the National Verifier to apply. For more information about the program and links to the dedicated ACP pages for specific providers, feel free to visit NCSU Education Technology page on the ACP.
