MAP prep and testing

All year the students have been working very hard to learn and master skills.  This year will be the first year they will be participating in MAP testing.  MAP is the Missouri Assessment Program that is completed by students throughout the state between April 1 and May 17.

We will be continuing to work hard to prepare the students for this upcoming test.  They will be prepared come April to demonstrate just how wonderful each student at Long School, and especially those in Room 18, are.  In our building the students in third grade will be tested in 2 subject areas: Communication Arts and Math.  Students will complete the Communication Arts portions of the test on Wednesday, April 17- Monday, April 22.  They will then complete the Math portions on Tuesday, April 23-Thursday, April 25.

Testing will be done throughout the building for 3 weeks total due to varied testing schedules and number of test given in each grade level.  Since testing will occur during the hours of 9:00- 11:00 AM, there will be an adjustment made to lunch and block schedules for the testing window.  More information will be sent home regarding that once it becomes available.
