Assessment News: What is MAP Testing? How is it used? (Now-September 6)
Our students will complete MAP Testing. MAP® (Measures of Academic Progress®)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MAP? MAP assessments are computer adaptive achievement tests in Mathematics and Reading.
What are computer adaptive tests? The computer adjusts the difficulty of the questions so that each student takes a unique test. The difficulty of each question is based on how well the student has answered previous questions.
Athletic Event Policy
Athletic Event Policy @ Home: Roswell High School has incorporated a Clear Bag policy for all home games. Personal bags such as purses, backpacks, and shoulder bags will not be allowed into our sporting event. Only bags that are clear, where our gate workers and administrators can easily see the contents inside will be permitted at the gate. Exceptions include small clutches, diaper bags, and camera bags but all are subject to search if requested. If you show up at the gate with a bag that does not meet the requirements of the high school, you will be asked to return that item to your vehicle. Information about the clear bag policy is posted on our websites, sent out to the administration of opposing schools, as well as located on signs outside of the stadium and other areas. Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe!
