Fall MAP Testing

Fall MAP testing will begin Monday, September 22nd.  MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is a test used to assess student performance; currently we test students in the fall for Math and Reading.  The primary purpose of the MAP test is to give teachers data to plan effective instruction.  MAP test results are one instrument used in determining a student’s placement in courses.   The tests are taken in the computer labs and media center during students’ Math and English classes.  English classes will begin testing next week-September 22-30.   Math classes will test the following week Sept 29-October 8.   Students will be told their testing days by their Math and English teacher and will be instructed to write this date in their planner.  It is important that students eat properly, are rested, and prepared for their scheduled testing days.
