        Dear Parents,
HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!   Our Pontiac students are wrapping up MAP testing and we are so proud of the growth they have shown through this assessment.   For those parents that aren’t familiar with MAP, these assessments are computer adaptive achievement tests in Math and Reading.  The computer adjusts the difficulty of the questions so that each student takes a unique test.  The difficulty of each question is based on how well the student has answered previous questions.  Please schedule a meeting or contact your child’s teacher for the results of your child’s MAP assessments.
As we look ahead, following Spring Break, our 3rd-5th grade students will take SC Ready state testing.  Please mark your calendars now.  SC Ready Reading assessment will be administered on Wednesday, April 27 and SC Ready Math assessment will be administered on Thursday, April 28.  More details about these assessments will be shared after Spring Break.
Thank you for your continued support!
