MAP and M-STEP Testing
Considering proctors, time and spaces are limited in planning forward it may become necessary to limit the number of students we are able to provide individual or small group testing.
For now, we have tried our best to come up with the following schedule. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding that "building needs" may arise that would prevent the proctors from being available for testing and revisions will be necessary:
