Positive Notes for Teachers
Two Days Down
Preparing for MAP
- Healthy Breakfast - We know that we perform better when our bellies are not grumbling. Please ensure your child eats a healthy breakfast each morning before school.
- Plenty of Sleep - When students are rested, they are able to think more clearly. Please encourage your child to go to bed at a decent hour the nights before they test to ensure plenty of rest.
- Headphones - Students will need their own set of earbuds. We do have some available if needed, but students are encouraged to bring their personal pair. They are more comfortable with their own and we want them to be at their best when testing.
- Calculators - Students are able to use their calculator for portions of the math and science sections. Calculators are on our school supply list so each student should have one; however, we understand they may have been broken or possibly lost from the beginning of the year. Please check to ensure your child has a calculator. We do have some available if needed, but not enough for every student in the school.
- Cell phones and iWatches - Cell phones and iWatches are not permitted during state testing. We ask that cell phones be kept in students' bags or lockers and iWatches be left at home during the days of testing. If students choose to bring to school during that time and are visible, items will be collected until the testing period is completed.
MAP Testing Schedule
Testing will start first thing each morning and should be finished around 10:30am.
