OFMS students will be taking the Winter administration of the MAP diagnostic assessments in reading and mathematics on the following days during our first week back to school:
January 6: 7th and 8th grade reading
January 7: 7th and 8th grade mathematics
January 13: 6th grade reading
January 14: 6th grade mathematics
MAP assessments are used to determine each student’s current level of performance relative to the curriculum, which is then compared to their performance on the fall administration as a way to determine progress. Results are used to plan for general instruction and for individualized instruction.
Students in grades 6 and 7 will be taking a math placement test on January 26 and 27, 2016.
The results of this placement test are used in conjunction with each child’s math teacher’s recommendation, MAP math assessment results, AIR math assessment results, and end-of-the year math grade to determine placement into advanced math for next year.
Math placement notification is included in team placement information, which will be mailed home on Friday, June, 17, 2016.
