Kelly Middle School Students,

The time has come once again for us to showcase our hard work and dedication in the classroom—the MAP Assessment is just around the corner, beginning on April 22nd! As we gear up for this important academic challenge, I want to remind each and every one of you that we are all in this together. We are a team, and together we can prepare ourselves to increase the percentage of students achieving at Advanced or Proficient levels on this year’s assessment.

In the coming days, your teachers will be reviewing past performance data with you, helping you understand where we’ve been and where we want to go. Each class will have the opportunity to set its own percentage goal, striving to push performance even higher. This is your chance to take ownership of your success and work toward a common achievement with your classmates.

But the best part? We will celebrate and reward those classes that meet their goal percentages! We’ve already accomplished so much this year, and I have no doubt that we will continue to shine—not only in athletics but, most importantly, in academics as well.

Families, we need your support too! You can help your student perform at their best by ensuring they are:

  • Eating and drinking healthy foods leading up to and during the assessment window.

  • Getting 8-10 hours of sleep each night to be well-rested and ready to focus.

Students, I believe in each and every one of you. Together, we can succeed and prove that Kelly Middle School has the smartest and hardest-working middle schoolers around! Let’s rise to the challenge and make this our best MAP Assessment yet.

We’ve got this!

Mr. Hopkins
