27 April

Dear Middle School Parents,

On Tuesday the 16th of May from 3:45pm to 5:30pm in the FAC Theater, we will be hosting a screening and brief discussion of the documentary filmScreenagers.” The film explores how screen time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance. Parents who have seen the film have said they now feel more confident and better equipped to establish balance around screen time.

We are inviting parents and their children (recommended age 10 and up) to attend this event which we are providing for free in the FAC Theater. The film will be viewed with Korean subtitles.

Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) Testing: 2-4 May
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computerized adaptive test. Students will take tests in Reading, Math, Language and Science. MAP tests students with engaging and age-appropriate content. As a student responds to questions, the test responds to the student, adjusting up or down in difficulty. Our team uses the data to inform instructional decision-making for increased student growth and achievement.


Please remind your children to charge the laptops each night, especially during testing week. There is no preparation required for MAP testing. We do, however,  recommend that students get adequate sleep and a good breakfast before they come to school for the MAP test.
