NWEA MAP Reports & Graduation Pictures

Good Morning!

Along with your child's report card for this semester, you should also have seen his/her NWEA MAP Progress Report.  This is a record of your child's test scores from January and then May.  The goal is to make progress!  On average, a student might make 7 points in progress between those periods;  however this depends on how high the original score was.  For example, if your child originally scored high in areas, there may not be as much progress (as they were already scoring higher than average).

On the district's website, there is a great video explanation of the report:

Keep in mind that this is a computerized test, so it is just one resource for understanding where your child is.  For some students, taking a test on a computer presents challenges and this can affect scores.

If you see your child is low in an area, use that category title to do some online searching for activities for over the summer (so much is online now!).

Our graduation pictures came out so great!  I hope you noticed the copy I sent home the last day of school (in the front of your child's yellow clear folder).  But Charlotte Manning is willing to send you digital copies of your child's pictures (THANK YOU AGAIN!).  Simply email her: CharlotteManningPhotography@gmail.com

I also wanted to thank the Knudsen Family for hosting our end of the year party - we had so much FUN!  And thank you to all of the parents that attended to help out!
