MAP Testing Schedule
Hello Grade 3-10 Students,
MAP testing is coming up starting next week. Please see this schedule and make a note of when and where you will be demonstrating your learning. For many of you, it has been a full year since you got the chance to show what you know, and we know you’ll make the most of it!
To prepare, please:
-Make sure your laptop is updated and ready to test (speak with a Maths teacher for details)
-Make sure you get a good night’s rest before your test dates
-Make sure you eat a nutritious breakfast and snack on the day
-Make sure your laptop is fully charged
-Be ready to give the test your full attention and best effort
-These are good tips for every day as well 🙂
Please see Mr. Dodge, Mrs. Clarke, or Ms. Ham with any MAP-related questions.
Thanks!
