MAP Assessments
We are in the final stages of completing our 2019 Spring MAP assessment. This standardized assessment is utilized to help us measure the academic growth and proficiency of our scholars from year to year. The data we collect allows us to formulate personalized learning plans of instruction and is one data point that helps to shape our school goals. We look forward to sharing more information regarding the MAPs data when the testing has been finalized.
WEF Grant Recipients
Please help me in congratulating Emily Sowinski, Jen Baker and Melissa Brendel for being 2019 Waukesha Education Grant Recipients. Emily created a grant entitled In The Zones to enhance our Social Emotional Learning Programming. Jen and Melissa created a grant entitled Future Makers in the Making Grant to enhance our Makerspace.
