News From the Principal

Welcome Back!

Students have had a very busy start to the school year at Lakeview. On our first day, much time was spent reviewing procedures to help students have a smooth day through “Cool Tools” developed by our PBIS team. Thing went very well and students appear to be well-prepared and ready for the new school year.

MAP Testing
This year, District 66 will again be monitoring student progress using MAP testing. This test has been developed by the Northwest Evaluation Association. The NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests present students with engaging, age-appropriate content. As a student responds to questions, the test responds to the student, adjusting up or down in difficulty. Additional information about MAP testing can be found at www.nwea.org

Students are able to monitor their own progress throughout the year. The result is a rewarding experience for the student, and a wealth of detailed information for teachers, parents and administrators. The information will be used to ensure students are appropriately challenged and/or receiving academic support using appropriate differentiation or interventions. Later this year, MAP information will be used to assist in the recommendation process for placement.

Map tests will be administered in the areas of math and reading next week during math and reading classes. Results will be shared and available for students and parents in by mid-September. MAP will be administered again in January and May.
