MAP TESTING
You all have done an excellent job of loading your classes for testing and setting up quality testing environments for our learners.  I have seen many "post its" and slips with feedback to learners regarding their BOY and EOY scores.  THANK YOU for jumping on board with this so that learners can have purpose for performing their best.  They are excited to brag about themselves and parents have made comments too.  We know they have learned so much this year!!
