MAP Testing

The spring administration of MAP testing has begun.  Students in grades 2-5 began taking their Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests this week.  The MAP assessment is a an adaptive computerized achievement test that is given for reading and mathematics.  MAP is also a norm-referenced measure of student growth over time.  Prior to administering the spring test, teachers discussed with students how they performed on the fall test and shared with them their individualized growth goals for the spring administration.  All students were armed with the knowledge they have gained thus far this year and many have already accomplished their goals.  MAP testing will continue through April 12.  Ask your child to share with you information regarding his reading and math goals.  If you are wondering what you can do on your end, be sure your child gets a good night's rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives to school on time with a positive attitude ready to demonstrate only his or her personal best.  Then celebrate growth and let your child know that you are proud of their efforts.  Official score reports for MAP will be sent home later in the year.
