Dear St. Mary of the Hills Family, Winter NWEA MAP testing began this week and will continue into next week. NWEA MAP testing is an important tool that we use to direct and drive our instruction. The MAP test scores give teachers a way to focus and plan for how they use their time for addressing a student's individual needs. In addition, this assessment tool shows which academic skills and concepts your child has learned and what he/she is ready to learn.

Dear St. Mary of the Hills Family, It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through the school year. This will be a very busy month for all of our teachers and students. NWEA testing begins on January 17th, and the middle school will begin midterms on January 24th. Please make every effort to have your child/children attend school during testing.

Dear St. Mary of the Hills Family, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a joyful Christmas vacation. It was wonderful to see everyone back at school. Our celebration of the birth of Jesus continued.
