MAP Testing Calendar
All students in grades 9-11 will participate in MAP testing this spring. These tests provide data that will be used to support instruction next year, so it is important that students do their best on these assessments. These tests will be taken by students at home on Wednesdays. Staff will be in touch with students with more information about the logistics of taking the tests. The only exception to this is students in math courses above Algebra 2 or students in science classes above chemistry. The testing schedule is listed below.
- April 28 – Reading tests
- May 5 – Math tests
- May 12 – Science tests
- May 19th – Language Usage
More information can be found about MAP testing on this website: https://www.nwea.org/map-growth/. Note that students do not need to do anything to study for or prepare for these tests. They should think of MAP tests as pre-tests.
Vaccinate Virginia Update
The Rappahannock Area Health District, which includes Fredericksburg and the surrounding localities, is now in Phase 2 for COVID-19 Vaccinations.
