April 20th, 2026 Dear Creede School Families, Over the next two weeks, your student will take the second MAP Growth test from NWEA on an iPad or chromebook. We administer the MAP growth tests to determine the student’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year in Language Arts and Mathematics. NWEA MAP growth tests are nationally normed and are unique in that they adapt to the student’s level of learning. If the student answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. This results in a detailed picture of what your student knows and is ready to learn –whether it is on, above, or below grade level. Since MAP Growth tests provide immediate and accurate information about your student’s learning, it is easy for teachers to identify students with similar scores that are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics, and then plan instruction accordingly. Here are some suggestions on how you can help your student prepare for the test. Make sure your student is well rested on school days and especially the day of the test. Students who are tired are less able to pay attention in class or to handle the demands of a test. Make sure your student has a good breakfast. A healthy body leads to a healthy, active mind. Make sure your student gets to school on time for the next two weeks. Elementary testing dates are scheduled for 4-27, 4-28, 4-29, & 4-30. Secondary test dates are scheduled for 5-4, 5-5, 5-6 & 5-7. Seniors do not have to report to school until 10:00 a.m. on testing dates. Thank you for engaging in the process as we work together to support our children. Respectfully, Mrs. Cindy Haberman Principal, Creede School District
