MAP Results, Placement Criteria and Newly Created Placement Slideshows
The winter administration of Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) for 2nd-8th grade students and MAP for Primary Grades (MPG) for 1st grade students has ended and your child’s score report will be sent home on Friday, February 7, 2020.
Our District uses the data from this assessment in a variety of ways. In the classroom, it provides teachers with a means for monitoring student growth in reading and mathematics over time. At the District and building levels, MAP data help us set goals and evaluate initiatives. Finally, in conjunction with other criteria, MAP scores may be considered when providing intervention and in placement decisions.
You will find below the approved placement criteria:
The Department of Learning has created placement slideshows explaining how to read the placement criteria documents and what the Bridge class entails.
You can find all grade level presentations here.
Erin's Law
Dear Prospect School Families,
House Bill 6193, better known as Erin’s Law, was signed by Governor Pat Quinn on January 24, 2013. This law requires public schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for all students in grades Pre-K – 12. In District 181, we have adopted the Child Lures Prevention Curriculum to meet this mandate. During the week of February 3rd your child will provided a one-time presentation in her / his regular classroom by the school social worker.
The presentation incorporates concepts and skills taken from lessons within the Child Lures Prevention Curriculum that are developmentally appropriate based upon grade levels. The presentation was aligned with learning standards that focus on teaching students basic skills to help keep them safe from abusive or dangerous situations. The presentation emphasizes healthy and safe relationships through interactive activities and discussions. Some concepts that will be discussed during the presentation included:
- Body Awareness Skills
- Healthy Choices
- Personal Boundaries
- Appropriate Relationships
- Safety Rules
- Self-Advocacy Skills
Talking points with your child that relate to the presentation:
- What is the bathing suite zone? (private parts of your body)
- What do you do if someone touches you in the bathing suite zone? (tell a trusted
adult)
- Who are trusted adults you can talk to? (parents, teachers, family, etc…)
- What do you do if someone tells you to keep a secret forever? (tell a trusted adult,
good secrets are always told, such as surprises or birthday parties)
- Who are strangers you can go if you need help? (police officer in uniform, a person
behind a counter, a mother with children)
We have also created a webpage specifically addressing Erin’s Law, with background information and an overview of the curriculum we have adopted. Visit www.d181.org > Parents> Erin’s Law.
Sincerely,
Katie Gonzalez, LCSW
Prospect School Social Worker
