Spring 2021 Virtual Testing Sign-Ups for Grades 2-4
Optional Gifted In-Person MAP Testing for Virtual Learners
Please note the registration deadline is May 4, 2021. (All grades 1-4 students who are face to face learners will take the MAP with their classes in May, so should not sign up for this testing opportunity.)
An optional administration of MAP testing for gifted services will be offered for our virtual second through fourth graders on May 12 and May 13, 2021. The MAP test takes approximately 45-60 minutes per subject - reading and math; we will offer the reading test on May 12 and the math test on May 13 at the Virtual Learning Commons. You may sign your child up for one or both test(s). You can indicate which test your child will take during registration.
We will adhere to the district's safety protocols and also require that any student who signs up for testing wear a mask. Once we receive all the registrations, groups will be created and staggered times will be assigned to avoid crowds congregating. You will receive an email on May 7th with the time and further instructions for testing. Please note that the parents are responsible for transportation to and from testing.
The email address you use to sign your child up will be the email address used for any communication regarding this optional gifted testing opportunity. Additionally, we are asking you to include a phone number we can reach you at to notify you on the day of testing when your child is done and ready to be picked up.
Link to register is found here.
If you have questions, please contact Mindy Zellner at zellnerm@sycamoreschools.org.
