"Save The Date": Siegrist MAP Testing Dates
Students in grades 3rd-5th will be taking our Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests in April and May. The district testing window is April 22- May 17th. Students in grades 3-5 take both a math and ELA test. Grade 5 also takes a science test. Below are the testing dates, by grade level. If you could "save the dates" to ensure your child(ren) are in attendance for these testing windows we would be appreciative. If you already have commitments on these dates and know your child(ren) will be gone please let your child's teacher know. We can be proactive and develop a plan for your child(ren).
Thank you for your partnership! An official MAP letter from the district will be emailed to parents of students in grades 3-5, on March 8th. Be on the look-out for it.
