MAP Testing: Sept. 1-18
Dear Parent(s):
Between September 1 and September 18 students in kindergarten through fifth grade will take tests called Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®). MAP tests are used to help determine your child’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year in the areas of reading and math. These tests are computerized and untimed.
In order to get the most accurate measure of your child’s instructional level and to make sure that teachers have the information they need to provide a quality education for our students, we need your help. Please ensure that your child:
· gets a good night’s sleep
· eats a nutritious breakfast
· has a pleasant start to the day
· is present and on time on testing days.
