Linden West MAP Testing is Scheduled April 23rd to May 10th

Attendance: Please make every attempt to ensure that your child is present during anticipated testing dates and that he/she is prepared for testing. Be at school on time. Avoid scheduling appointments that can be done at a later date. If students are ill, they will be allowed to make up the test on a different date.

Sleep and Breakfast: Many teachers report that students who don't do well on tests haven't gotten enough sleep, and haven't eaten breakfast on the morning of the test. Doing both of these things will ensure that your child is working at full capacity. (Narang, 2008) ALL students at Linden West Elementary are welcome to FREE BREAKFAST every morning starting at 8:50am

Remain Positive: Staying calm will help your child stay calm. If he/she gets nervous about the test or is likely to experience anxiety during the test, help him/her practice relaxation techniques that he/she can try once they have taken the test (Narang, 2008)

We ask that guests refrain from coming to lunch with students at ALL grade levels during the testing window.

Thank you for keeping MAP Testing quiet for ALL students!
