Winter MAP Family Report Coming Home
Parents in grades 1-5 will soon find your child's Winter MAP Assessment Family Report coming home. This Family Report is the same as the one you received in the fall, but with your child's latest score added. Your child's teacher reviewed the Family Report with you at conference time, and should be your first resource in case you have a question for this testing session.
Please remember this assessment is just one indicator of your child's progress toward their end of year goals. There are also several other curriculum based assessments your child completes to gain a full picture of their academic success. Fluctuations up and down in the MAP assessment are expected, and can happen for many different reasons.

Flexible Instruction Day (FID) Information
Souderton Area School District will occasionally use Flexible Instructional Days (FID) rather than traditional “snow days.” Here is a brief reminder of FID expectations:
- A FID is considered a school day. To be counted as attending school, students must respond to the Schoology discussion post/question posted by their teacher. Students must respond to the post by 10:00AM. If a child is unable to access the Internet, then the parent should call the school office at 610-287-9197 to leave a message on the attendance line indicating that the student was unable to access Schoology to answer the discussion post/question.
- Students must complete schoolwork via Schoology. There will be no live sessions. Children may complete schoolwork at a time that is convenient for their family. Your child’s teacher is available, via e-mail, throughout the school day to answer any questions that you or your child have regarding their schoolwork.
- Students or families experiencing technology problems may contact the Student Help Desk for technology support. A link to the Student Help Desk is available by clicking here. Before submitting a support request, please follow the three steps below:
1. Restart your device (power off and power back on).
2. Check that your device is not in airplane mode.
3. Check that the wireless connection is enabled.
