We are excited to share an upcoming opportunity that we are preparing to help us better serve your child’s academic needs. During the dates listed below, your child will take a MAP® Growth™ test from NWEA® on at school on their district-issued Chromebook. MAP Growth scores help teachers check student progress by measuring achievement and growth. Teachers use results to tailor classroom lessons and set goals for students.  This November, we are running this assessment in part to see where students are after the extended closure (from March to September).

MAP Growth tests are unique, and it adapts to your child’s responses to measure your child’s skill level. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. These results will provide a more complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.  Each test (reading and math) takes about an hour. Since MAP Growth tests provide immediate and accurate information about your child’s learning, it’s easy for teachers to identify students with similar scores that are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics, and then plan instruction accordingly.

Please note: It is important that your child come with their fully-charged Chromebook on their testing day.  To dedicate school bandwidth to this assessment, high school courses that “live stream” will not be live streaming these days.

We are truly excited to focus on your child’s individual growth and achievement. For more information about MAP Growth, visit NWEA.org/familytoolkit.

Sincerely,
Scott Knief, Superintendent
Mike Schultz, Principal
