MAP Testing Monday

Please note that SJS 3rd – 8th grade students will take the next round of MAP Adaptive Assessments first thing in the morning this coming Monday, May 1st.  Testing will also occur on Monday, May 8th.

Please pay particular attention to ensuring your child/ren get to bed on time the evening before each testing day and that they have a nutritious breakfast each morning.  Also, it is important that students get to school on time each day as testing will begin right after morning announcements.

Any student coming in tardy on a testing day will have to wait in the office until the testing period is over and will have to make up that test at another time.

For middle school students – please make sure your child comes to school with their Chromebook charged on Monday Morning!

If you would like to read the original announcement about this new testing program that was implemented this year at schools throughout the Archdiocese, you may do so HERE.

Thank you.
