Extending MAP Testing
Good afternoon Daniel Wright students, parents, and guardians,
This morning we experienced a higher than normal volume of connectivity issues with NWEA MAP testing today. Students and teachers did a great job of troubleshooting and demonstrating patience, yet we still had students who could not finish testing. We have contacted NWEA and they are working to resolve the issues prior to our next testing session. NWEA has confirmed that the issues were not due to our execution of the test, but the problem resides on their end.
In order to give NWEA time to resolve the connectivity issues students experienced today, we have decided to reschedule tomorrow’s test session. Students in grades 7 and 8 will take the Reading MAP test on September 24, 2020, starting at 12:25 p.m. For those students who were unable to finish MAP testing today a make up session will be scheduled and communicated to students and parents as soon as possible.
Students will have access to their teachers during their usual periods tomorrow afternoon during the time that MAP testing would have taken place. Please have your children log into their zoom classes to check in with their teachers - they will be given time to work on asynchronous work that has been assigned to them this week.
