Dear Families:

Over the next few weeks, all fourth through eighth grade students will take the NWEA Map Growth exam for Reading, Language Usage, and Math during their ELA and math classes. These exams are used as an indicator of your student’s academic achievement and progress in school. 

Testing dates and time spans are as follows: (Please note that different groups within the grade test at different times on these dates.)

4th grade- October 12th-14th 8:30am - 9:40am and 12:40pm - 1:45pm

5th grade- October 12th-14th 8:30am - 9:40am and 12:40pm - 1:45pm

7th grade- October 13th-15th 8:20am - 12:00pm

8th grade- October 19th-21st 8:20am - 12:00pm

To help your child succeed, we ask that you make sure he/she gets plenty of sleep during these testing days. You should encourage your child to do his/her best on the exams. It is very important that your child be at school each day and on time. Students who are absent will have to make up the exams they miss. 

These exams are important steps in your child’s educational career.  We appreciate all your support and encouragement.  If you have any questions, please call me at 794-8935.

Sincerely,

Sarah Hainer
