RMS: 5th Grade MAP test information
Dear 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Parents,
Over the next few weeks, your child will be taking the Reading and Math winter MAP test as he or she did in the fall. Please be aware that besides providing a benchmark for student growth and learning, the MAP test is a part of our screening process for our enriched literature/language arts classes.
Fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students who score in the 90th percentile or higher on either the Fall/Winter reading and math MAP tests, will be considered for additional testing. This additional testing will take place in early March. The testing includes a CogAT assessment as well. This additional testing along with the winter reading and math MAP scores for fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students will be used to determine qualifications for an enriched literature/language arts course at the middle school next year. The MAP testing window for Batavia begins on January 28th.
The middle school gifted services mirror those used in grades three through five. The Batavia school district uses a cluster grouping model that utilizes the expertise of the classroom teacher or a gifted specialist to meet the unique needs of identified academically gifted and talented students. Within this service model, identified students will receive appropriate instruction in an enhanced Literature/Language Arts class.
If your child scores in the 90th percentile or higher on the Fall/Winter MAP test, you will receive a detailed letter in early February further explaining the process for identification which will include dates for the March testing.
For more information about gifted and talented services offered by district 101, please read the Gifted and Talented Handbook found at http://bps101gat.blogspot.com/.
Sincerely,
Stephen Maciejweski
Principal, Rotolo Middle School
