ACADEMICS

MAP Testing Continues

In the next two weeks, all students from Kinder through 5th grades will continue to take the Measures of Academic Progress assessment (MAP). MAP is an assessment to measure their Math, English, and Spanish growth and proficiency.

Our instructional staff uses this as one data point to help inform instruction for all students. Click on the images to enlarge them.
