All students Grades 6-11 will take the Winter MAP test on Monday, December 9th (Reading) and Tuesday, December 10th (Math). The MAP assessment is a benchmark test that we use to measure the academic progress of our students throughout the year. We also use the assessment to determine the Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention groups for our students. It is imperative that our students do their best work and give their best effort on the test so we can get an accurate measurement of where they are at this point in the school year and plan for any interventions or extensions that they may need.

Please make sure your student is at school, on time, and ready to go on the testing days. If possible, please schedule any outside appointments for later the in the week.

Congratulations to our Academic Team for their big win over Newport this past week. They are now 6-2 on the year and are a strong contender for the upcoming District Tournament to be hosted here at Bellevue. Keep up the great work!
