Thank you all for your patience with all the communication about the CPS test process for the fall. Remember that applications to test are due by September 10th. Mrs. Johnson is currently compiling the grades from 7th grade to submit to CPS. This will be 1/3 or 300 points of the total rubric.
According to OAE, any student that has registered to take MAP in October will be sent a letter at the beginning of October. This letter will contain your pin for the overall application process and your exact dates for MAP testing.
The 8th graders will take a math MAP test on 9/28/15 and a reading MAP test on 9/29/15 at NPES. If your child will be participating in the boot camp and you would like their MAP scores shared with BEC, please send Mrs. Smith an email with permission for that to be done. Information (a flier) from BEC regarding pricing and scheduling for the MAP boot camp will be forthcoming this week. We are confirmed for the weekend of 10/10 and 10/11 from 9:00-12:30. Carlos Becerra, owner and founder of BEC, will be teaching the boot camp classes, at my request.
Registration for the Selective Prep test prep session for the Selective Enrollment exam is ongoing. This session will begin at NPES on October 19, 2015. The session consists of 8 classes to be held on Mondays at NPES from 3:30 to 4:30. If you have not registered yet and would like to, you can do so here.
Ms. Rosenberg is working on a timeline reference with important dates in the high school application process. This will be forthcoming. Remember that it is best to begin visiting schools as soon as possible so you can cast a wide net in the application process. Open Houses for high schools will likely begin in October, but you can begin to visit high school events (sporting events, performances, etc.) at any time, once the school year begins. Talking to students and parents of students at the high schools of interest can be a resource that is more valuable than an Open House.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Ms. Rosenberg or Mrs. Smith.
