Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we begin the administration of the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment, I want to take a moment to share some important information with you. This assessment is a valuable tool that helps us understand your child’s academic growth and areas where they may need additional support.
We encourage you to talk with your child about the MAP assessment and reassure them that it is an opportunity to demonstrate their learning. It’s important for them to approach the assessment with a positive mindset, knowing that it is just one way we measure their progress.
Please ensure that your child gets plenty of rest, eats a healthy breakfast, and arrives at school on time during this testing period. Your support at home plays a significant role in helping them feel ready and confident.
Thank you for your partnership in your child’s education. Together, we can make this a successful experience for all of our students.
Warm regards,
Will Zwingmann, Ed.S.
Principal
