MAP Testing for First Grade Students
First grade students will participate in MAP testing on Tuesday, April 7 for ELA and Thursday, April 9 for Math. Testing will begin promptly at 9:45 a.m.
MAP testing, or Measures of Academic Progress, is an assessment that helps teachers understand each student’s current academic level and growth over time. It provides valuable information about your child’s strengths and areas where additional support may be needed. This helps teachers plan instruction that best meets the needs of each student.
Because this assessment is an important tool for monitoring progress and guiding instruction, please make every effort to ensure your child is at school on time and well rested so they can do their very best.
Thank you for your support!

The South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Assessment (SC READY) program is a statewide assessment designed to evaluate students in grades 3–8 in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, as well as science for 4th grade. These tests measure student understanding of the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards taught in ELA, math, and science classes.
School starts at 7:45 am. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. To provide the best possible testing environment, please ensure your child:
Arrives to school on time.
Gets plenty of sleep the night before.
Eats a healthy breakfast.
Please note: there will be no volunteers or visitors to the school on these testing days.
Electronic Parent Notes
Our school is excited to offer electronic parent notes as an option to communicate with the school on the days your student is absent. This may be a good option for you if you often forget to send in a sick note, or if your child loses parent notes easily. Please go to the following link and fill out the information whenever your child is absent from school. Due to a change in attendance policy this year, parent notes are only accepted during the first 10 absences of the school year, and must be turned in within 3 days of the student returning to school. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Meghan Shroy at 864-355-3943.
Thank you!
