CONWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATION OFFICE
Dear Parent/Guardian-‐ Your student will soon be taking the new “MAP Growth” assessment. The “MAP Growth” is an online, technology-‐based test that students take on their chromebooks. It will be given to all students in Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades this year. This is the new statewide assessment for K-‐2 students in the State of Arkansas. This is a measurement of progress in both Reading and Math. We will administer the “MAP Growth” three times this year-‐ in September, December, and April. The information/results gained from this assessment will be used by our teachers and staff to gauge your child’s learning and to tailor classroom instruction accordingly. The “MAP Growth” does not count for a grade or points for your student. Your child’s teacher will go over the results from the first (September) “MAP Growth” assessment at Parent/Teacher Conferences in October, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about this new assessment process. If you would like to learn more about the “MAP Growth,” please go to our district website-‐ http://www.conwayschools.org/assessment. You may also contact your child’s principal with questions or concerns. Thank you for partnering with us in our efforts to maximize students’ success.
