MAP EOC Testing
In the upcoming weeks, May 9-20, your child will be taking the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) End of Course Assessment (EOC). During this time frame, the district will be administering tests to students who have completed the courses of Algebra I, Accelerated Algebra 2, English Language Arts II, Biology, and Government. The specific tests taken by your student will depend on his/her enrolled course.
The EOC test will be given to students who have completed requisite courses and will be administered in-person completely online. The EOCs are challenging tests that measure whether students are learning what is expected of them in the defined courses. Performance on the EOC is used by the state and federal government to determine if schools are making progress toward their achievement goals, but state accountability is not the only reason Park Hill administers these assessments. It is our aim to ensure that the education we provide results in high achievement for each of our students and schools. Teachers and administrators use results from these tests to help your child learn and to make critical classroom, school, and districtwide decisions that are intended to increase achievement for all students.
Park Hill High School will be testing the following days:

*Not all ELA2 teachers will test on the same days due to conflicts. Students will confirm their testing date(s) with the teacher.
There are some things you can do to help your child do well on these tests including:
- Make sure your child is well-rested and eats breakfast each day of testing.
- Make sure your child attends school and arrives on time on testing days.
- Speak positively about the test. Your attitude is contagious.
- Encourage your child to have a positive attitude about tests and to listen closely to test instructions.
§ Other parent information put out by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education about the EOC can be found at: https://dese.mo.gov/college-career-readiness/assessment/end-course
The results of the assessments will be shared with parents when the district receives them. If you have questions concerning these assessments, please contact your child’s counselor or principal.

No Outside Food Deliveries for Students
Please remember that we do not allow outside food to be delivered to students. This is not just a Covid policy, but something we do to help our processes run more efficiently. In the past, we've been overrun with food deliveries, which can be difficult when our front office is dealing with more pressing matters.
