MAP Testing
MAP Testing Schedule
Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) testing will start next week. This state standardized test will be given to students in third, fourth, and fifth grades. All testing will be in the morning on the dates listed below:
Grade 3 students: April 25 and 26, May 2 and 3
Grade 4 students: April 25, 26, and 27, May 2 and 3
Grade 5 students: April 25, 26, and 27, May 2, 3, and 4
During test sessions, the only electronic devices allowed in the room are the ones being used for testing. For Unit C students, iPads will remain at school beginning Monday, April 17 through the duration of the MAP testing window. Also, students that arrive late to school will have to wait in the office until the testing session has concluded. There are several things that you can do to help prepare your child:
- Make sure your child has a good night’s rest before testing dates.
- Make sure your child has a nutritious breakfast.
- Arrive at school on time.
- Leave all watches, Fitbits, and other electronic devices at home.
- Avoid appointments on testing days.
FunDay Volunteers still needed!
Please become a volunteer to help make this a successful fundraiser and exciting event for the kids! Most slots are 1-2 hours, which means you can still enjoy Funday with your kids AND volunteer. Invite grandparents, older siblings, friends, and neighbors to volunteer as well.
