Revised MAP Schedule
Over the course of the next several weeks, students in grades 1-8 will be taking the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. The MAP assessment consists of both Reading and Math portions and is one of the methods teachers and administrators use to collect data on student academic growth. The collected data can then be used to help cater instruction and support for the specific needs of each student. This school year, students will be taking the MAP assessment two times; once during the Fall trimester, and once during the Spring trimester. Please read the e-notice on MAP for more information.
