Parents/Guardian(s),
Wheaton Elementary School begins MAP testing for grades 3-6 tomorrow, April 15th! Today we celebrated those students with a MAP parade! Check out some pictures of our little Bulldogs supporting the older ones and the sweet treat provided for our MAP testing students!
As a reminder- MAP testing begins at 8:30am. The following tips will help support your student during testing:
Encourage your student to get a good night's sleep on testing days. A well-rested mind is better able to concentrate and retain information.
Provide an encouraging environment at home and remind your student that they are capable of doing their best.
Arrive at school early to eat breakfast. Rushing on testing days can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety.
