Dear Grades 1- 8 Parents and Students,
 
We hope that you and your family are safe and in good health; and that your children are continuing to learn despite all the current challenges. It is important that we evaluate how our students are learning and developing during their time of distance learning. 
 
We will be applying a remote version of the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) evaluation for our 1st-8th grade students during the next few weeks, so that we are able to track academic progress and to adapt learning experiences to more fully meet students’ current academic needs. 
 
Grades 2 through 8 students will take 3 evaluations in English: Language, Reading and Math. Grade 1 students will take 2 evaluations in English: Reading and Math. These evaluations will be spread out over the course of a few weeks, to allow students to do their best. Students will be given less classwork and activities to complete on Seesaw or Canvas on their evaluation days. The individual evaluations will take around 45 to 90 minutes to complete. 
 
Your child’s MAP evaluations and dates are attached. If you have more than one child in these grades, you can download the full schedule by clicking here.
 
Your child will need:
  • To complete the evaluation individually.
  • A quiet place at home with limited distractions.
  • Paper and pencil for calculations.
  • A computer or iPad with audio and internet connection.
We need your help as a parent:
  • Install the MAP app on the computer or iPad your child will use. 
    • Parents can also check the compatibly of their devices to the app of NWEA through this link: https://check.nwea.org/.
    • The MAP app is not available for iPhones or any Android device.
  • If your child will use a computer (desktop/laptop):
    • Click this link > https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1w6oN8ZKGFsmiKasU1dASxRsu8pDuVkNC?usp=sharing
    • Click on the version for your computer.
    • Follow the instructions to install the app on your device.
  • If your child will use an iPad:
    • Go to the Apple store.
    • Download and install the NWEA Secure Testing app.
 
On the day of your child’s MAP evaluation, it is ok to help your child log on. You will need a session name and password.
  • To log on, click on the NWEA app on your device.
  • The session name is PACA.
  • The password will be sent to your email by Mrs. Katia Villa in the morning before the evaluation begins (katia.villa@paca.com.br).

​If you need tech support during the evaluation session, please use the following “zoom” link (https://zoom.us/j/92620699793) to contact Miss Grazi Martins. She will be available throughout the duration of the MAP evaluation to offer live support in English or Portuguese.
 
Students should complete the evaluation individually. The only support parents should provide is with technology and logistics. By allowing students to answer questions based on their individual understanding, teachers will get the most accurate information to inform future learning experiences. Students should take their time to answer all questions to the best of their ability. 
 
 
Sincerely,
   
Brenda Stockment
Elementary Principal
 
Joel Rast
Secondary Principal
