MAP R
MAP M
MCAP? (I wasn't sure whether that's what this was)
Teacher Questionnaire
Parent Questionnaire
Staff Advocacy

It's actually much more transparent than earlier years and I think an improvement in terms of communication.


thanks for the update!


So you are only notified if you are deemed gifted, correct?
Also 2nd graders don’t take MAP R. My kids MAP report only has math

The State requires testing and notification but does not require any special educational distinction and MCPS does not provide one.

Almost everyone gets these. They mean nothing. It's mostly done to comply with state laws.


It’s not true that “almost everyone” gets these.


That's just a troll. Does spewing misinformation and negativity make you feel better in the long run? Even if you say they mean nothing (somehow I doubt that you don't care), the OP clearly does care about the designation.
