LEADERSHIP LETTER LEADERSHIP LETTER

Hello Legacy Families,


We have officially wrapped up our winter MAPS and Acadience testing for the 2025-2026 school year.


For our new families, NWEA MAPS is an assessment we administer three times each year (fall, winter and spring) to measure student achievement and growth over time. MAPS results help teachers identify each student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and overall academic progress. This information allows educators to create targeted learning plans and set goals that support each student’s unique needs.


Acadience is another benchmark assessment we use at Legacy Academy to monitor reading development and progress for students in grades K-5. Acadience helps identify students who may be at risk for reading difficulties as well as students readiness at grade level and above. Teachers use these results to determine which students may benefit from additional reading support.


Over the next few weeks, teachers will be analyzing individual student results from both MAPS and Acadience. They will review this data with you during parent-teacher conferences, which will be held on Thursday, February 12th, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Please keep an eye out for a sign-up genius link from your child’s teacher with additional conference details.


We are excited to celebrate the growth, success and hard work of our Legacy students. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for choosing Legacy Academy for their education. Your continued support means so much to us. If you have any questions or would like further information about mid-year MAPS assessments or Acadience testing, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or school administration.



Sincerely,

Denise LeSage

Middle School Assistant Principal
