New test for 9th graders this year

Sept. 26, 2011 

The district will soon begin piloting new assessment tests for ninth graders. The results of the new tests will help the district design instruction that best meets the needs of students.
The new assessments (Measures of Academic Progress or MAP tests) will be given during the school day three times a year (fall, winter and spring) in order to chart growth.
To learn more read WCSD’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction Kirsten DeMento's, letter to parents and guardians about the test.
Parents can also review the Northwest Evaluation Association’s Parent Toolkit which includes answers to frequently asked questions about the MAP tests, tips for parents to help prepare students for tests and information on ways to help with language, reading and math.
