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!

World Clean Up Day started as a simple idea and now it is a global movement. Anyone can pick up trash. Get involved in this global effort to make our home a cleaner place. It is about positive collaboration, the spirit of unity and most importantly, getting something done for the planet and the realisation that we need planet Earth with its resources more than it needs us. (World Cleanup Day_the story)
