Dear Middle North Families,
Starting Monday, December 9th, all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be taking the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test in Reading and Math as a benchmark to measure student progress. The purpose of this standardized test is to celebrate student growth from the beginning of the year while providing our school with data to be responsive to our students' instructional needs for the rest of the year.
For the Winter test, MSN will be piloting a new schedule that will eliminate the need to shorten classes, change the daily bell schedules, or alter the students' day. This pilot also allows students to test in their English Language Arts and Math classes with the teacher who provides instruction in that content area. Students with testing accommodations will still receive them with one of our Student Support Services teachers. Please see below for the MAP testing schedule:
December 9-11: All students will take their READING test in their scheduled English Language Arts Classes with their content teacher(s).
December 12-13: Students who were absent or did not finish the READING MAP test will finish during test makeups in the library or ALE room.
December 16-18: All students will take their MATH test in their scheduled Math Classes with their content teacher(s).
December 19-20: Students who were absent or did not finish the MATH MAP test will finish during test makeups in the library or ALE room.
We appreciate your support over the next two weeks. Our students have put the time, effort, and perseverance into their learning over the last four months and we can't wait to see their successes. Please reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Waggoner & Ms. Porzel
