MAPS TESTING
This week your child will take the MAPS test. This is a test that state of Nevada is requiring all kindergarten through third grade students to take in the area of English Language Arts. This test will measure your child's instructional level and measure their growth. They will take the test three times a year.
Here is some information you be interested in about MAPS:
*It is taken on a chromebook
*It will get easier or harder depending on your child answers
*It should take about 45 minutes
*You will get a report showing your child's growth after each test
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
