Due to the recent inclement weather, the winter local diagnostic time-line has been pushed back.
During the weeks of January 21th - 31th, all WCPS children, grades 6-8, will take the i-Ready Diagnostic for ELA and all grades 6-8 students will also take the MAP diagnostic for math. These are computer based adaptive assessments to be administered at a designated time assigned by your child’s teacher. In accordance with state and local requirements, we will give students this diagnostic to determine their instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year in English and mathematics.
As an adaptive assessment, i-Ready and MAP will adjust the questions to suit your student’s needs and the time frame for this assessment will range between 30-75 minutes. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions. The purpose of this is not to give your student a score or grade, but instead to determine how best to support your student’s learning.
These online tests provide immediate and accurate information about your child’s learning, and allows your child’s teacher to use this data to guide instructional decisions. This assessment will be given three times over the course of the school year. Following each testing period, you will receive a report showing your child’s growth, which you can review with your child’s teacher for more insight.
For more information, you can contact your child’s teacher or the Office of Assessments and Accountability at 410-677-4477. To better understand your child’s results, please contact your child’s ELA or math teacher.

The 7th and 8th grade students were excited to spread a little holiday cheer today! The 7th graders flash mobbed the office downstairs to perform Winter Wonderland, and the 8th graders did a little mini concert for their teachers and a few classes of their peers, where they performed Rudolph and Carol of the Bells. It was a morning full of music and holiday cheer!
