NWEA MAP Assessment
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computerized assessment that measures a student's knowledge of math and reading. All students are asked the same number of questions, but the difficulty of each question is based on how well the student answers the previous questions.
The assessment uses a RIT scale to provide a numerical score that reflects a student's academic skills, knowledge, and abilities. The RIT score is similar to a student's height on a growth chart, allowing parents to track their child's progress over time.
Teachers will use the score to inform instruction, personalize learning, and monitor the growth of individual students. We will also be using the data to organize and inform our small group instruction during guided study.

Parent Pick Up - East Side of Campus @ Celebrations Church - Please Read
Things are still quite disorganized during afternoon pick up by the Celebrations Church lot still.
Parents are waiting for extended periods of time in no parking zones, have been honking and cutting off walkers who have the right of way, doing U-turns in front of buses, and ignoring staff members who are simply there to keep kids safe.
Please model kind and law-abiding behavior. We appreciate your patience and consideration.
