MAP Testing for LS Grades 3-5

Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 will be taking the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Growth test beginning September 9, 2024.
 
This assessment is taken by all students in grades 3 through 8 to measure individual student growth. MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive test. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. This type of assessment provides an opportunity for all students to feel successful. The MAPS Growth is not an IQ test and it is not used to determine promotion. This assessment is administered in a calm atmosphere while encouraging the children to do their best.
 
Testing takes place during the morning beginning promptly at 8:15 a.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (September 9, 10 and 11).

Please be sure your child:
  • Gets plenty of sleep.
  • Eats a good breakfast before coming to school.
  • Is on time for school. Children who are late will not be admitted to class until the current testing session is complete. 
  • Please do not send your child to school if he/she is ill.
Encouraging words with extra hugs are always good ways to start the day!
