On Wednesday October 7 and 14, students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will take the Measured Academic Progress (MAP) assessment.  The MAP assessment is an online tool that will help teachers gauge where your child is starting the year academically.  The assessment is designed to adjust the difficulty of the questions based on student response.  It may appear that the test is too hard or easy for your student however as they progress, the test questions will be geared more towards their level.  The MAP assessment does not affect your child’s grade.   It is normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly.  To learn more about the MAP assessment, please visit: https://www.nwea.org/the-map-suite/common-questions-families/

Please note that we are offering two time slots for your child to log into the Google Meet to take this assessment.  Your child only needs to attend one time slot on each date and you can choose whatever is most convenient for your schedule.  Students should work through the assessment independently.

Wednesday, October 7th 9:00am-11:00am or 1:00pm to 3:00pm- Reading MAP assessment
Wednesday, October 14th 9:00am-11:00am or 1:00pm to 3:00pm- Math MAP assessment
If your child is unable to attend, makeup testing will be offered during asynchronous learning times.

Please reach out to Katie Carter at kathleen_carter@hcpss.org if you have any questions regarding the administration of the MAP assessment.  Teachers will share Google Meet information and your student’s testing group as we get closer to the Oct 7th date.
