Christina Powers, Secondary School Principal
I would like to extend a thank you to the parents who have communicated with the clinic in a timely manner with positive covid results. This assists ISY with being able to share the information with others who were in close contact. As we adapt and progress through the weeks, please make sure to contact the ISY’s medical clinic if you have questions or to share results. The clinic can be contacted by email at clinic@isyedu.org.
Just a reminder that February 11, 2022 (Tomorrow) is a school holiday. There is no school for
students.
Measure of Academic Progress(MAP)
February 21- March 3rd Students in Grades 6-9 will be taking an online adaptive assessment in the area of Reading Math and Writing during their regularly scheduled English and Math classes. The information obtained on this assessment is only one data point that will be used to better understand a student’s strengths and weaknesses. As we get closer to the end of the month, more information about how students are to access the online assessment will be provided.
General Information about MAP Testing:
- MAP Assesses Reading, Writing, and Math Skills.
-
MAP assessments are online adaptive assessments that provide useful data in developing a fair and accurate assessment of a student’s academic achievement and growth.
-
Teachers combine MAP assessment data with all other student data that they have collected in the classroom. This combination of data informs teacher instruction in meeting the needs of each child.
- Students online and/or in-person learning will be able to take part in this assessment.
- The data obtained on the assessment will not impact reportcard grades.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact cpowers@isyedu.org
