MAP Growth TESTING BEGINS December 3-14, 2018

On Monday, December 3, 2018, 8th grade students will begin taking the Measures of Academic Progress Assessment (MAP) GROWTH assessment. Students are tested in two content domains: reading and math.

Our testing dates are Monday, December 3 through Friday, December 14.

MAP is not a "mastery" test. MAP is used for diagnostic purposes to measure growth. Students are not expected to get every question right. In fact, the best assessment measure is one where a student gets 50% of the questions right and 50% of the questions wrong. This is where we get the best information on the actual instructional level of a student.

Should you have any questions about MAP GROWTH testing, please contact School Testing Coordinator, Debbie Sanders, Instructional Coach, at 355-1492.

You may also reach me by email at dsanders@greenville.k12.sc.us.

The 8th grade Washington DC fieldtrip will be March 12 - 15, 2019. Visit Orange Sky to reserve your spot and to view the itinerary for the trip. You must use Booking Code 10183 to access the site.

We are continuing our afterschool L.I.F.T. program this school year to provide students with additional opportunities to receive instruction and retake assessments, if needed. Please click here for additional information on the program. If your student needs bus transportation home from the program you can find a L.I.F.T. bus permission form here as well as a tentative list of dates that the program will be held. 

Please direct any questions to your student's grade level administrator.
