MAP Testing Starts Friday
Please note that SJS 3rd – 8th grade students will take the first round of MAP Adaptive Assessments first thing in the morning on Friday, September 25th at 8:00am. Testing will also occur first thing in the morning on Tuesday, 9/29 and Thursday, 10/1.
Please pay particular attention to ensuring your child/ren get to bed on time the evening before each testing day and that they have a nutritious breakfast each morning.
Also, it is very important that students get to school on time each day as testing will begin right after morning announcements. Any student coming in tardy on a testing day will have to wait in the office until the testing period is over and will have to make up that test at another time.
For middle school students – please make sure your child comes to school with their Chromebook fully charged on Friday!
For families new to SJS this year and/or our 3rd grade parents (who may have disregarded the message in prior years) these tests allow for formal assessment of where each individual student is at in key learning areas. Teachers will review the results to see what concepts each individual student is excelling in and where individual students may need additional instruction.
Below is some additional information from when the Archdiocese of Hartford launched this testing a few years ago:
