Please note we will be conducting the Spring portion of MAP testing in the next couple of weeks for 1st-7th grades. For a reminder on what MAP testing is, please refer to
this email sent in February and also review the
Parent Toolkit. There is nothing your child needs to do in preparation for the testing, which will only be for about an hour each morning.
