TIGER TALK
Week of January 11-15, 2021
MAP Testing
Students on-campus and virtual will be participating in Winter MAP testing this week. Please be sure your on-campus student has his/her Chromebook charged and at school every day!
Virtual students will have instructions to participate synchronously with his/her teacher to complete the MAP test. While I know it is hard to watch your child struggle, please refrain from helping them on the MAP test. The test is not used for a grade. It is used for information to help us meet your child's needs. If you help your child, the program will move them to work that they are not ready to complete. Thank you for your help!
GT Referral Information
Parents, the annual window for Gifted and Talented (GT) referral is open (January 1 - 31) for students currently in grades 2-12. GT services are provided for identified students in grades 3-12.
