Dear St. Teresa of Avila Parents & Students,

Over the next two weeks, our students will be taking the winter NWEA MAP (Measure of Academic

Progress) assessments in math and reading. This tests allows us to measure growth and learning throughout

the year, and provides us with valuable information regarding student strengths, areas for growth, and next

steps for instructional support.

There is nothing specific that your student needs to study or review to prepare for the test, but please make

sure your child gets a good night's rest the night before the test, eats a healthy breakfast before

testing, and arrives to school ON TIME. Please encourage your student to give their best effort and

take their time on this test. If students show up late, miss test dates, or rush through the test, it delays our

ability to translate the results into action steps that help your child.

Please see the calendar below for your child’s testing days and start times. If you have questions about the

test, please call your child’s teacher or the office.

Thank you,

Sharon Willmes
