Grade 10 MAP Tests Today
Hello Grade 10 MAP Marvels,
Your MATH MAP test is happening today, starting Block Three with 10A and 10B in the LGR and 10C in D219 (Mr. Romero’s old room).
Here’s how it works:
-Everyone stays in the LGR/D219 for Block Three to the end, regardless if you are finished or not (so take your time…)
-At the end of Block Three, those that have finished the test go to Block Four. Everyone else continues testing (so take your time…).
-At the end of Block Four, those that are still testing will go to lunch and finish the test at a later date (so take your time!).
Give this test your best!
Ps. Grade 7, you are up tomorrow, so get some good sleep tonight!

To game or not to game…??
Now that the Gaming Room has closed many people have asked the question…. where can I play computer games in school at lunchtime?
Here is the answer:
- The cafeteria and all hallways are tech free zones
- Devices are permitted in the Library for doing assignments or personal research (not for games)
- Computers may not be used outside at lunchtimes; they should be away in your lockers
The simple answer is to take a break from playing games whilst you are at school. Use the time to be present with your friends, play games or sports inside or outside, read, chat or discuss the learning from your classes.
Questions? Please ask!

MAP Testing This Week and Next
Hello Grade 3-10 Students,
MAP testing is coming up starting THIS week and next. 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
-If you have a text-to-speech accommodation, please remember your headphones!
-These are good tips for every day as well 🙂
Please see Mr. Dodge, Mrs. Clarke, or Ms. Ham with any MAP-related questions.
Thanks!
