Learning Look In - MAP Testing
This assessment helps teachers get a baseline of what students already know and are able to do so they can determine how to best meet the academic needs of your child.
The test will be administered again in the winter and spring to check that students are making academic progress.

All names were entered for a raffle drawing for a gift card. Here are the winners:
6th Grade - Tessa B
