Testing Season
Throughout the month of April, all students at OPES will be participating in MAP and STAR testing. Both assessments are norm referenced and provide our teachers will information regarding your child’s growth in reading and math so far this year. Your child’s teacher can inform you of the specific times for their class or if you have questions about the assessments, please email Kristin Rhodes at rhodesk@fortmillschools.org.
There should NOT be any stress or anxiety regarding these assessments. The information gathered here simply informs our future instruction. Please remember that NO test determines the worth or value of a child.
