Your child will have their ELA mid- year MAP testing on 1/15(B-day).
MAP test accuracy is based on your child's best effort, which can be related to recent diet and sleep schedules. Please encourage your child to have the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep nightly, and to make healthy food choices over this next week in preparation for this mentally challenging test. The MAP test is very significant, and can even predict if your child is on track for their SAT and ACT college entrance exams. Please encourage your child to do their very best!
