Sycamore Community Schools has announced that virtual students who would like their upcoming MAP tests to count for newly identified gifted services must take their tests in person.
Students do NOT need to take the MAP tests in person to remain in gifted programming.
Fill out the following forms by Thu., Jan. 21, to register for in-person MAP tests.
2nd through 4th grades - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSePZTwL3VUH9FnsWueITKFbFRsEuQ_2TN1cR6T3EEfrYFDQ5g/viewform

Sycamore GEAR received clarification from a Sycamore Junior High assistant principal that MAP testing can be done virtually or in person for 6th graders whose scores will be considered for honors social studies and science placement. In order to be placed into those JH honors courses, 6th grade students must earn >90% on a MAP test (within the last 12 months) and/or have a teacher recommendation, according to a presentation from the JH counselors during a recent Greene school PTO meeting. The full transition presentation can also be found at this link, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s2P6ndSM-K0AhLyUqXIA0i2PJH3i-Bvv/view.
