LS Weekly Updates

Professional photographers will be on our site on Monday-Wednesday next week. The Lower School day reserved for our individual and group photos will be on Monday, September 30. 

You should have received an email from our Tech Department with instructions for how you can view and purchase the photos. Please reach out to helpdesk@asmadrid.es if you didn't receive this communication.

The lower school will take its Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments on October 8-10. The tests are adaptive to students’ answers and provide one of the many data points teachers use to meet the learning needs of our students.  

All students test in Math, Reading, and Language Usage. The student-support staff ensures that all students who require accommodations will receive them. The divisional coordinators offer makeup opportunities Oct. 11, 14-16 for students who were absent or did not finish during the allotted times. 

Students are requested to bring a book to read quietly after they finish their exams.

For more information, see the NWEA Family Toolkit. Parents will receive an email with the results toward the end of October. We will host a MAP introduction session on October 3, 3:00 - 3:45, especially for Grade 3 and new families. Please sign up here to attend the MS steps.

If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or the K-12 Curriculum Coordinator at JasonDavis@asmadrid.es. 

Families with 3, 4, and 5-year-old siblings that wish to apply for the fall of 2025 please fill out the online inquiry and we will send you an application. Remember that your child needs to be 3, 4, or 5 years old by 1 September to enter K1, K2, or K3.
