Please find the Secondary MAP schedule here.

All testing will be held in the main building this time, so less walking and fewer stairs to climb!

All of Grades 9 & 10 will MAP in the Main LGR (between Mrs. Morrow and Mrs. Noh’s offices).

Grades 6-8 Study Groups A & B will also test in the Main LGR. Sections C will test in classrooms close to the LGR, so please check the schedule above for your daily locations.

MAP is an important chance to demonstrate your academic progress in Reading and Maths. This data is critical to your teachers, families, and you!
