MAP Testing (New)
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Testing begins next week. Both the math and reading assessments are given to all children. This is part of the data we regularly collect to measure the performance and progress of your child. We will use the MAP results in planning instruction for your child and for consideration toward placement for the 2019-2020 school year. The best thing you can do is to make sure your child is well-rested and has a healthy breakfast, just like every day! MAP results do come home to parents, once the district has completed assessing for all children and reports are ready. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
