When is the first day of school?

Elementary MAP testing will begin the week of Aug 17th -21st. 1st grade-4th graders will come in small groups to take this assessment. Our intention is to identify students’ gains and losses over the last 5 months according to common core standards and to create safe opportunities for children to meet their teachers, see their classrooms, and walk through some of the new routines and procedures. MAP testing schedules will be sent by email to elementary parents in the coming days.
