We are excited to begin MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing this week. MAP is a computer adaptive test that helps teachers, administrators, and families support student academic growth. This assessment will replace the Star 360 assessment that has been used in previous years. All students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade will be taking MAP over the next two weeks, and again in the winter and spring. Results will give teachers a baseline on your child's academic strengths and opportunities for growth. Taking these assessments each year will also allow us to continuously monitor academic progress.
There is no preparation needed for your child before taking the test, but we ask that you help encourage your child to try their best. Results from the MAP assessment will be shared in mid/end of October and will be discussed during parent/teacher conferences in November. We will also offer a few informational learning sessions for families to learn more about MAP results once results have been shared.
