Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
I hope you are having a fantastic week! Our students have been knocking MAP testing out of the park. Below are the “grade level norms” for NWEA’s MAP® Test. More than 9 million students in the US and in 140 countries worldwide use MAP® test, and at San Tan Charter our goal is that 70% of our students will be working at or beyond these grade-level norms.
Please make sure to talk to your student about knowing their numbers. Students become very excited when they witness their growth over time!
– Mrs. Sarah Laramie
