Students recently completed winter MAP testing. Results can be found on The Source. You can see the percentile in which your student performed in comparison to their peers nationally. Should you have concerns, it's a great time to partner with your teacher and determine plans for closing gaps and how you can best support at home. For more information about the test & how to interpret results, please review the MAP Family Guide.

Did you know that there are examples of biased words that are scattered throughout the English vocabulary? Biased language is made up of words or phrases that might make certain people or groups feel excluded or underrepresented. We can help create a more inclusive community within our school and neighborhood by ensuring the words we use don’t cause harm towards others unknowingly.
