last day of the 3rd Marking Period (MP)

  • 369 Passaic Avenue Fairfield, New Jersey, 07004 United States (map)

The last day of the 3rd Marking Period (MP3) marks the end of the third quarter and the start of the final stretch of the school year (Quarter 4).

Typical Timing:

  • Date Range: Usually falls in late March or early April, right before or right after Spring Break.

  • Exact Date: Varies by school district depending on the academic calendar and weather/snow days used earlier in the year.

What Happens on the Last Day of MP3:

  • Gradebook Closure: Final deadline for submitting missing assignments, projects, or test retakes for Quarter 3.

  • Transition to Q4: Marking Period 4 (MP4) begins the very next school day.

  • Report Cards: Q3 report cards are typically posted to student/parent portals 1 to 2 weeks after the marking period ends.

Why It's Important:

  • Senior/Graduation Check: For high school seniors, MP3 grades are often the last complete set of grades sent to colleges for final admissions or financial aid reviews.

  • Spring Prep: Marks the start of the home stretch, leading directly into Spring standardized testing, Advanced Placement (AP) exams, and final projects.
