Hello CL Families!

The month of May brings the final round of MAP testing for the year (May 1st -19th). As a district, we will start using the MAP test as a universal screener for our 5 year old kindergarten through 2nd grade students in addition to our 3rd-5th graders. We use the data from the MAP assessment to measure student growth, to assess instruction, and to determine the individual needs of our students. Please read the information below concerning these assessments.

K-2 MAP Growth

This spring the Germantown School District is expanding our universal screener to students in Kindergarten through Second grade for math and reading. The students in these grades will be participating in the MAP Growth Assessment, specifically designed for young students. Students will test on a touchscreen Chromebook and have all questions read to them via the device. Similar to MAP Growth for students in grades 3-5, this assessment is adaptive and will give teachers and parents a RIT score that will track students' growth over time. For additional information about MAP testing, please view the family guide.

6th Grade Math Placement

At Kennedy Middle School, students have the opportunity to take advanced math classes if they meet the criteria established by the Germantown School District. Students who meet the criteria to take 6/7 Math as a 6th grade student if they score advanced on two or more 5th-grade MAP assessments.

The majority of KMS students are placed in the grade-level math class. If your child meets the criteria for advanced math class, you will receive a letter after MAP reports are completed detailing that placement. All families will have the opportunity to opt out of advanced math placement for 6th-grade.

Thank you,

Andy Eisenbach
