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!
