Dear Parent/Guardian,

Starting next week, all students at Peak Prep will participate in MAP testing. Our 1st assessment window will begin on September 13th and conclude on September 24th. Below, you will find information about MAP testing and how we will be using the results in the classroom.

What is MAP Testing (Grades 6-12)?

MAP Growth scores help teachers check student performance by measuring achievement and growth. Teachers use results to tailor classroom lessons and set goals for students.

MAP Growth tests are unique, and it adapts to your child's responses to measure your child's skill level. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. These results will provide a complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.

Since MAP Growth tests provide immediate and accurate information about your child's learning, it's easy for teachers to identify students with similar scores that are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics and then plan instruction accordingly.

MAP Growth reports also provide typical growth data for students who are in the same grade, subject and have the same starting performance level. Following each testing period, you will receive a Family Report showing a summary of how your child is performing academically.

We are genuinely excited to focus on your child's individual growth and achievement. For more information about MAP Growth, visit NWEA.org/familytoolkit. Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your student's learning! I look forward to sharing information with you throughout the year. If you have any questions about MAP testing, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warmest Regards,

Mrs. Sabrina Ciolino

You may notice that on September 15th, the system will show that there is nothing due. That is because I created a fake holiday to allow you to focus on MAP testing without getting off track in your courses. You do have school on September 15th and are expected to log in and complete work. While MAP testing should take no more than 2 hours to complete, you have been given about 6 hours' worth of time off in Edgenuity (or 3x the amount of time it should take to complete your reading and math MAP tests). Would you please use the extra 4 hours to catch up or move ahead in your courses?

Thank you,

Mrs. Ciolino

• Get a good night's sleep and eat a full breakfast on the day of the assessment.
• Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
• Try not to worry about questions they do not know—remind them that it is expected they will only get about half of the questions correct.
• Use paper and pencil to show work for math questions

Each Friday, your Homeroom teacher will send the parent/guardian a Learning Log via Dochub. The learning log is a record that the parent/guardian will sign and initial certifying that the student listed above has "engaged in [required] educational activities" on each day that they have initialed.

Please take a minute to initial, sign, and finalized your student's learning log every Friday afternoon.

Each student at Peak Prep has been assigned a homeroom teacher. Your homeroom teacher will be your primary point of communication for support.
