Parent Notification

Before testing, it is a good idea to inform parents of the format of the MAP test and what they can do for their students to help increase achievement results.

Modify the parent letter which is appropriate for your situation (either first testing season or continuing testing seasons) to fit your situation.

You can also access the Sample Parent Letters either through the NWEA Downloads link, or by opening the attachments here.

Parent Notification Letter - For First Test
