Message from the Principal
Hello OSW Families, Happy New Year! It was a short but busy week as we transitioned from the break. It was wonderful to see the smiles and excitement as our students returned from the holidays. Once again, the amount of charity the OSW community provided to those in need was overwhelming. Thank you all for your contributions. Next week will mark the beginning of Winter MAP testing for all grades. We assess students in September, January, and May in both reading and mathematics. We utilize this assessment to allow us to focus on your child’s growth over time. MAP is an adaptive, computer-based assessment that automatically adjusts to each child’s individual learning targets and highlights your child’s strengths and areas for further growth and development. Like many assessments, it is one snapshot that we use to consider the progress of the whole child. Our teachers use this information to plan instruction to meet the individual needs of all of our learners. For more information about the MAP Assessment, please visit https://www.nwea.org/content/uploads/2016/06/Parent-Guideto-MAP.pdf. Check the attached calendar for all the events that are coming up. 5th Grade Promotion Meeting on 1/8 at 6:45 OSO Meeting on 1/14 at 6:30
