MAP Testing Changes
Due to inclement weather the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has extended the testing window for the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP). Bloomfield Elementary has changed the MAP dates to April 27-May 1.
Spring Achievement Testing
Bloomfield Elementary has been working hard all year and we are ready to show off during Spring Achievement Testing. Kindergarten through Second Grade will be taking the Terra Nova Achievement Test during the week of April 6-9. Third through Fifth Grade will be completing the Missouri Assessment Program (M.A.P.) during March 30 - April 3.
Here are some test taking tips for students and parents:
1. Get plenty of rest the night before each testing session.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast.
3. Be at school every day.
4. Do your very best – testing is very important. This is your chance to shine!
5. Don’t get stressed. Use the stress relieving techniques Mrs. Mayo taught you.
6. Take your time.
7. Answer all of the questions thoroughly.
8. Go back over your work and check for careless mistakes.
