Students will be MAP testing the week of January 22nd – 26th. Please make sure that your student gets a good night sleep, a good breakfast and comes ready to do their best on the test. The results will be sent home during parent teacher conferences on February 9th. Please see the excerpt on page 42 from our student and parent handbook. It states “students in grades 1-8 must score in both Reading and Mathematics NWEA MAP testing at or above the 10th percentile at least once throughout the current school year. Campus may apply for a waiver for NWEA MAP promotion standard (as low as 7th percentile) within their district. If a student passes STAAR assessments in Reading and Mathematics then that student will be exempt from NWEA MAP promotion requirement”.
