Cambridge Headlines

MAP Testing:

This week will be benchmark testing for all students on NWEA MAP. Students will be testing during an extended advisement (B2) period on Tuesday, August 13, and Wednesday, August 14, 2024. Students without advisement (B2) on their schedule should plan to report to school during this time, and testing locations will be available in the front lobby on testing days.

Students can only test on a school-issued device. Students need to bring their school-issued devices these days and ensure the device is charged each day for advisement class. Students who did not receive a device on their grade's distribution day should visit the Media Center.

MAP Testing is a required test for all students and those absent will be pulled from class to make up the test. Visit Cambridge Bell Schedules to this week's bell schedule.

Monday, Thursday, and Friday we are on our regular bell schedule.

If you do not have a B2 class, or absent when devices were distributed for your grade, please pick up your device in the Media Center. All students will need a device for testing Tuesday and Wednesday.
