These assessments provide valuable insight into what students know, what they are ready to learn next, and the support they need to be successful. MAP Growth is our regular benchmark assessment, administered each fall, winter, and spring; it is not an additional standardized test.
EVERY student in the district will gain from ALL families completing the Education Benefits form.
- Enhances Student programming (more counselors, tutors and supplies)
- Academic Savings (reduced test, college and athletic fees)
- Technology Access (Internet/computer support at home)
- Nutritional Assistance (summer grocery funding)
