MAP Testing Information for Parents

Greenfield Elementary and Junior High are scheduled to begin MAP testing on May 5, 2026. The last day of testing is May 8, 2026.

It is very important for students to be at school on time during testing. We start each day at 8 a.m. All students in grades 3-8 will be taking the MAP test.

New this year-The student from each grade in grades 4-8 that shows the most growth on the MAP will be rewarded with a $50 Visa card!!!

How to get students ready for the test:
Be at school on time, ready to go!
Have a regular bedtime routine. Students in elementary school need a minimum of 9 hours of sleep per night. Junior High students need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep per night. Make sure your students are not up late playing video games.

Eat a healthy breakfast-as always, breakfast is free so every student has the opportunity to eat breakfast before testing.

Avoid scheduling appointments during days your student is testing.

We provide all tools needed for the test including the Chromebook, note paper, pencils, and state tool sheets. The only thing the students need to provide is a positive attitude.

Score reports for MAP testing will be available at our first student/parent/teacher conferences in October.

Here is a letter from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that explains more about the MAP test.

The Missouri Assessment Program Grade-Level Assessments (MAP) are designed to measure academic progress and proficiency. Students in grades 3-8 participate in assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in 5th & 8th grade will be assessed in Science, and students in 4th grade will be assessed in writing.
Grade-Level Assessments include:

A variety of text including short stories, poems, dialogues, magazine articles, charts,and tables.Students need to be able to read a wide variety of texts ranging from road signs to restaurant menus, comic books to classics.
Selected Response ( multiple choice) questions composed of a question followed by a series of possible responses. Students must select the correct response or responses.

Constructed Response or Short Text items require students to supply an appropriate response rather than making a selection from a list of choices.
Performance Tasks/Events allow students to work through more complicated items using real world scenarios.
Writing Task items require students to write either narrative, information/explanatory or opinion/argumentative essays.

The Grade-Level Assessments evaluate student progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. Missouri Learning Standards define the knowledge and skills students need in each grade level and course for success in college, careers, and other post-secondary training. These expectations are aligned to the Show-Me Standards, which define what all Missouri high school graduates should know and be able to do. Find more information about the standards at
https://dese.mo.gov/college-career-readiness/curriculum/mls-for-parents.

The results of the Grade-Level Assessments are used to identify areas of strength and growth for each student, and provide information to help guide the instruction and curriculum in classrooms. In addition, the results are used to create a school and district accountability report published by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The Grade-Level Assessments provide an important snapshot of each student's academic progress and can help inform our instruction.

There will be no concessions at tonight's softball game vs Pleasant Hope.

Wildcat Community, We want to inform you that a medical situation occurred at school today. As a precautionary measure, emergency protocols were followed to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

Today’s HS Track Meet at Ash Grove has been cancelled due to the threat of severe weather.

Thank you PTO!

All students at the elementary were able to pick out a book at the book fair yesterday thanks to the donations from the PTO!

We appreciate everything the PTO does for our kids!

The post about schedule updates had one incorrect. The Verona game that is cancelled is BASEBALL on 4/30, not softball. The SB game with Verona on 4/24 is still on as scheduled. Sorry for the confusion.

*** Please see this track schedule update ***

Here are the changes/updates that are upcoming. Go Wildcats!
