<p>&nbsp;Dear FSI Parents,</p><p>Assessments are critical to helping students and teachers guide student learning. Although all assessments were suspended in Spring 2020 when schools initially closed, assessments will be required during the 2020-2021 school year during distance learning. Fortunately, students can take these assessments at home with their Chromebook or iPad device.&nbsp; </p><p>Students in grades 4-8 will be taking the Measures of Academic Progress™ (MAP) assessment. We give students MAP assessment each year to determine their instructional level and to measure academic growth in the areas of Mathematics, Reading and Science.</p><p>MAP assessments are unique in that they adapt to be appropriate for your child’s level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward assessments. Students do not need to make any special preparations except getting a good night’s sleep.</p><p><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px">January 7th, 2020 </span></b><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px"> NWEA Mathematics .&nbsp; Test time: 8:30 to 11:30</span></b></p><span style="font-size:12px" /><p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px"><text-node>January 12th, 2020 </text-node></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px"><text-node>NWEA Reading.&nbsp;</text-node></span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #c00000; font-size: 12px">Test time: 8:30 to 11:30</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #c00000; font-size: 12px">January 12th, 2020 LUNCH TIME</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #c00000; font-size: 12px">&nbsp;</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #c00000; font-size: 12px"> 11:30 to 12:30</span></b><xml rtecc='1'>&nbsp;</xml></p><p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px">January 12th, 2020 </span></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif; color:#C00000;font-size:12px">NWEA Science.&nbsp;</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #c00000; font-size: 12px">Test time: 12:30 to 3:30</span></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:gray;font-size:12px"><img alt="" src="/uploads/news/ssoysal@frontierschools.org/NWEA1.PNG" />&nbsp;</span></b></p><p>&nbsp;<img alt="" src="/uploads/news/ssoysal@frontierschools.org/test day.PNG" /></p>
