Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Testing for students in grades 1st-5th will be taking place in the next couple of days. Please make sure your child gets a good night's rest and is ready.

Measure of Academic Progress (MAP), is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.

It is VERY important the students bring their Chromebook, charged and ready to go every day.

Parents, if you have moved out of district during the 2024-2025 school year or plan on moving out, please contact the Graves School Office for official transfer paperwork.

If students purchased the “2025 Field Day T-Shirt” they are to wear it on this day.

If students did not purchase the shirt, they may come out of uniform but please encourage your child to dress comfortably, bring a hat/sunglasses (if sunny), and a towel or change of clothing in case they get too wet due to the water game station.

Please make sure students bring their own water bottles to the event

(name written on them preferably).
