Fall MAP testing begins next week in Grades 2-8. Over the next two weeks each student in Grades 2-8 will take an online test in Math, Reading, and Language Usage. The calendar below indicates which sessions are being administered each day. The purpose of these assessments is to gather baseline data for this school year and identify what topics students are ready to learn or may need support in learning. To get the most accurate information, we encourage you to make sure your student gets a good night of sleep and eats a healthy breakfast on days they are testing. Thanks for your support in this process.
This weekend would be a great time to set up your
Pledgestar
account and begin requesting pledges for the walkathon. It is just three weeks away. Look for more information below.
Cross-country and both varsity volleyball teams are in action this weekend. Go Vikings! Enjoy your weekend!
