Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Assessment

On Wednesday October 7 and 14, students in grades 2-8 will take the Measured Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. The data from the MAP assessment will help schools and teachers measure where your child is starting the year academically. The HCPSS intends to also give the assessment in winter and spring to measure how your child’s learning is progressing throughout the year. The MAP test does not affect grades and the difficulty adjusts depending on how your child responds. It is normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly.  To learn more about the MAP assessment, please visit: https://www.nwea.org/the-map-suite/common-questions-families

The Reading test will be offered on October 7 at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm.  The Math test will be offered on October 14 at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm.  Students may choose to attend either the morning or afternoon session. If your child is unable to attend, makeup testing will be offered during asynchronous learning times. Students should log into the session promptly at the start time (9am or 1pm) using their math teacher's regular Google Meet class code.

 

With testing for these grades is occurring on a Wednesday, the following adjustments will be made for the weeks of October 7 and 14 (Grades 2 - 5 ONLY):

  • No Dreambox assignments will be assigned on October 7 and 14

  • No Lexia Core5 assignments will be assigned on October 7 and 14

  • No mathematics task will be assigned on October 7 and 14

  • No changes will be made for related arts and science asynchronous assignments.
