Developing Good Study Habits
As we blast into the third week of school, students should now be settled into their classes and ready to push beyond expectations. Please encourage your child to establish a daily schedule, helping them manage their time effectively and develop strong study habits in all of their classes. Time management and study skills are crucial to their success here at Arabia Mountain High School.
As they adjust to the expectations of their teachers, they’ll need to navigate each class with confidence. Developing and sticking to a daily routine—reviewing notes, previewing upcoming lessons, and completing homework on time—will help them stay on track and maintain strong academic performance. Encourage your child to stay focused on building habits that will drive them toward excellence.
Together, let’s help our students cultivate the habits that will propel them to blast beyond expectations this year!

Testing Information
NWEA Fall MAP Assessment- August 12-23, 2024
Starting Monday, August 12th, our 9th and 10th grade students will begin taking the Fall MAP Assessment. The NWEA MAP Assessment is a district-wide universal screener, designed as a computer-adaptive test that measures student achievement and growth in math, reading, language usage, and science from K–12. This assessment adjusts to each student's ability, providing a personalized measure of their knowledge and tracking their growth over time.
The results of the MAP Assessment offer valuable insights for our teachers, helping them to tailor instruction based on each student's needs, strengths, and areas for improvement. The test is administered three times a year—Fall, Winter, and Spring—allowing us to monitor progress throughout the school year.
We encourage you to remind your student to do their very best on this assessment, as it plays a crucial role in guiding their educational journey.
