So proud of our SMS Science TEAM! Our department set a goal last year for 6 MPI points of growth on the Science MAP test. We worked so hard all year, keeping our goal at the forefront of everything we did. We got our results back and had over 16 POINTS of GROWTH, which is phenomenal! We had to celebrate the fact that we were able to grow these students' learning so much!
