MAP Progress Monitoring
December 3rd - 5th & 6th: READING
December 4th - 5th & 6th: MATH
MAP assessments are computer adaptive achievement tests in Mathematics and Reading.
2. What are computer adaptive tests?
The computer adjusts the difficulty of the questions so that each student takes a unique test. The difficulty of each question is based on how well the student has answered previous questions.
3. What tests are available?
Students are assigned to take MAP based on grade level, MAP for Primary Grades (MPG), MAP 2-5, or MAP 6+.
4. What is the purpose of the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment?
MAP is a norm-referenced measure of student growth over time. MAP assessments, joined with other data points, provide detailed, actionable data about where each child is on his or her unique learning path. MAP assessments differ from other data sources used by the HCPSS to inform instruction by being nationally normed, by tracking student progress throughout a year and across school years, and by being linked to software tools which can assist teachers and administrators in planning instruction.
5. What are the uses of MAP?
MAP tests are based on a continuum of skills in Mathematics and Reading from low skill levels to high skill levels. MAP assessments help teachers identify the instructional level of the student and also provide context for determining where each student is performing in relation to local or state standards and national norms. MAP reports allow teachers to better target instruction based on students’ strengths and needs.

Christmas Break
ONE BOOK ONE SCHOOL
We are excited to introduce our One Book, One School book for the fall semester! The book we will be reading is Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix and it is the first book in the Shadow Children Series. This fiction book is jam-packed with mystery and suspense with a futuristic twist leaving readers with a constant question in their minds, “what would I do in this situation?”For a little sneak peek into Among the Hidden, here is the blurb from the book:
Luke has never been to school. He’s never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend’s house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He’s lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family’s farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl’s face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he’s met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows-does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
Each advisory teacher will read several chapters from the book to the class each week. We will have trivia questions and prizes. Students will also have the opportunity to win the GRAND PRIZE: The complete seven book set of the Shadow Children Series!
No Cell Phone Zone
Also, students are not allowed to be on their cell phone at school. This includes in the court yard and during dismissal.
