We need parents’ support with making sure their child reports to testing on time and gives their best effort. Please, email Mrs. Harmon (assistant principal) at Andrea_Harmon@hcpss.org if you have any questions about MAP.

The data from Measured Academic Progress (MAP) assessment will help schools and teachers measure where your child is starting the year academically. The HCPSS intends to also give the assessment in winter and spring to measure how your child’s learning is progressing throughout the year. The MAP test does not affect grades and the difficulty adjusts depending on how your child responds. It is normal for students to only answer about half the questions correctly.  To learn more about the MAP assessment, please visit the NWEA Website at https://www.nwea.org/the-map-suite/common-questions-families/

Feel free to contact Mrs. Harmon at Andrea_Harmon@hcpss.org if you have any questions regarding MAP.
