During the month of September, 4th and 5th grade classrooms will be using Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) as one of the beginning-of-the-year student assessments in math and reading comprehension. This is an adaptive assessment that acts as one piece of data to help inform classroom instruction. Along with other assessment information throughout the year, MAP data helps teachers know where students are in their mastery of different content.
We will also assess the students in the spring, as MAP is focused on measuring growth from the year. Those spring results will be shared with families - stay tuned for more details in April.
If you are interested in learning more, here is an article written by NWEA on MAP.
Middle School
It has been a fun filled week for the Middle School with the eighth grade camping trip, the sixth grade Wasatch Adventure, and the seventh grade Teton Science School trip.

Yesterday, information regarding the Safe UT App was shared during our Middle School assembly. We encourage you to read the following letter and have an open dialog with your student about this topic.
Hello, Middle School Students & Families,
Communication between school and home about your child’s academic performance and their habits and attitude towards learning has always been an integral part of your child’s success. In the Middle School, Mission-Based Grading is our feedback system for reporting holistically on a student’s learning development. There are three categories: academic mastery, productivity, and contributions that target the skills, behaviors, and mindsets we hold for students. Please read more in the continuation of this letter here.

- Quantum computing applications
- Machine learning algorithms, particularly in image recognition
- AI's role in cyberattack detection and prevention
- Medical advancements through machine learning
- Mentors are asked to contribute just an hour of their time a few times a year to make a significant impact on our students' educational journeys.
If you are interested in mentoring, or know someone who might be, please contact Ben Smith at bensmith@rowlandhall.org. Your support can help shape the future of these budding technologists and innovators.
