Lower Campus' Weekly Update
April 16-20, 2018
You Are Appreciated!
Announcements
MAP Testing: MAP testing is coming soon! Between now and May 7th, please use the laptops to have your students complete the MAP practice test. There is no limit to the number of times students' can complete the practice test. Also, on the MAP homepage, there is a quick link to sample MAP questions. I've attached the link below as well. These should give you an idea of the type of questions for each RIT band.

GA Milestone: Test administration training will be this Monday, April 16th. If you are not present, you will need to do make-up training. All certified staff must be trained.
Summer School: This year's summer school budget was severely cut. Delana worked some magic and was able to get limited spaces for our students in a summer school program. There are 5-7 spots available for each grade level. Please work with your team to select the students that would best benefit from attending summer school. Submit your list to me by May 11.
Essential Standards Document: Continue working on this document to ensure it is completed by May 18. Please send me the document as you update it/make changes. Thanks!
