Assessment Dates
MAP Assessments-
Second graders will take the MAP assessments on December 12-13, 2016. These assessments occur three times throughout the year. From these assessments, teachers receive data to influence their instruction. From assessment results, teachers are better able to create flexible groupings, adjust time spent on certain topics, provide additional scaffolding for students, set goals for class/individual growth, and reflect on teaching practices. Please be mindful of scheduling appointments, vacations or missed school days around the assessment schedule.PTO INFORMATION:
