Dear Grade Parents/Guardians,
You are cordially invited to attend the 2019-20 High school course selection Parent/Student/Counselor Meeting on February 4, 2019 – March 6, 2020.

Dear Parents:
Beginning January 28 through February 8, 9th and 10th grade students will take tests called Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®). We give students MAP tests to determine your child’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year and from year to year in the areas of Reading, Language, and Math. Your child will take the tests on a Chromebook.
MAP tests are unique in that they adapt to be appropriate for your child’s level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward testing. Additionally, since MAP tests provide immediate and accurate information about your child’s learning and growth, it’s easy for teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses and plan instruction accordingly to meet your child’s needs.

Sincerely,
HSI – Sugar Land
