MAP Growth Testing is coming! MAP Growth is an adaptive assessment of achievement and growth. It creates a personalized assessment experience by adapting to each student's learning level - precisely measuring progress and growth for each individual student. If your child correctly answers a MAP question, the computer assessment provides a harder question next. If they miss that same question, then an easier MAP question is asked. This provides essential information about what your child knows and is ready to learn.

The guidelines below aim to promote a focused and respectful learning environment while ensuring the safety and security of personal electronic devices and valuable items with the school.
- Personal cell phones and electronic devices, including headphones and earbuds, may only be used before and after school hours.
- Phones cannot be used during the school day.
- During this designated time, the use of electronic devices should not disrupt the school environment or create a hostile atmosphere.
- At all other times, during school hours, electronic devices must be powered off and safely stored away.
Confiscation and Intervention:
- If a staff member observes the use of an electronic device outside the designated times, the student will receive a warning and be educated about the specific electronic device policy and expectations. The student should power off and put the device away.
- If the student continues to utilize the electronic device outside the designated time, the staff member will confiscate the device for the remainder of the period.
- If the student fails to comply with the staff members’ direction, administration or security will be called and the device will be confiscated for the remainder of the school day.
Repeated violations will be subject to additional disciplinary action in line with the Student Code of Conduct.
Additional interventions for violating the electronic device policy may include, but are not limited to:
- Lunch or after school detentions.
- Daily phone check-in at the beginning of the day for an extended period.
- Parent pick up of the electronic device.
- Parent/Student conference held at the school to discuss the issue.
- Overnight hold of the electronic device, if a parent cannot pick it up.
Mental health counseling services are available at Bryan Middle School through the Methodist Hospital Community Counseling Program. Please speak to your student's school counselor or school social worker if you are wondering if a referral to the program might be right for your child.
