Mission Monday: Attendance Matters – Your Passport to Success with MAP and EOC Testing! 📚
Don't miss your ticket to success! MAP and EOC testing will be happening over the next few weeks, and attendance is your passport to unlocking opportunities. Here's why it matters:

2️⃣ Support your school: State testing is important for our schools as it helps identify areas for improvement, informs teaching strategies, evaluates program effectiveness, ensures accountability, and guides resource allocation, ultimately supporting student success.
3️⃣ Personal growth: MAP and EOC tests offer insights into your student's strengths and areas for growth. Be there to invest in your future success.
