MAP-On Wednesday September 9th and Friday September 11th, your child will take tests called Measures of Academic Progress^® (MAP^®). We give students MAP tests to determine your child’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year in the areas of Reading and Math.Your child will take the tests on a computer. We are truly excited to continue focusing on every child’s individual growth and achievement. Partnering to help all kids learn, parents and teachers can have a profound positive effect on the lives of our children.

Disability Training- Thursday the students will participate in disability training with the rest of third grade. They will rotate through different stations that simulate what it is like to have different disabilities.
