Dear Wootton Community,

I hope this message finds you well.  Here are some important reminders and updates for this week.  

MAP Testing: 

Please be reminded that MAP testing starts this week with a "Get Ready" Session during 5th period homeroom on Tuesday, September 22nd and the MAP-M test administration from 9:00 to 11:15 on Wednesday, September 23rd in homeroom classes.  Please remind your students to report to their homeroom on Tuesday and Wednesday for both the “get ready” session and the MAP-M test this week.  Please check our website for schedule changes for Wednesday.

Here is a link to the MAP administration letter sent out last week.  

Please be reminded of the following regarding MAP Testing:

• This test is a Maryland State Department of Education requirement for all students in K-12 this year;
• MAP testing sessions are NOT being recorded; 
• All students must have their cameras on (and their microphones muted) for the test so that proctors are able to actively monitor student testing.  As such, students must use a device with a camera to take the test.  School-issued Chromebooks work and are the preferred device.  To check to see if your device meets all requirements, use that device to access this Workstation Diagnostic Tool.

Grade-Level Parent Meetings: 

We are excited to offer our grade-level parent meetings for our 9th-11th grade parents this week.  The virtual meetings will take place at 7:00 pm and will feature important administrative and counseling updates for each grade level.  Please plan to attend your student’s grade level meeting.

Here are the dates, times, and administrator for each parent meeting:

Make-Up Materials Distribution:

Thank you for picking up materials and returning materials last week!  In order to accommodate families that could not make it to Wootton last week to pick up or drop off materials, we will be distributing materials on Wednesday, September 23rd and Thursday, September 24th from 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.  Please plan to come to Wootton’s lower lot to collect materials for this school year or to return materials from last school year!  Please see our website for a complete list of courses that require materials to be picked up.

Updating Annual Verification in Parent VUE:

Thank you to those of you have already set up the new Parent VUE account and completed the Annual Verification of contact information. If you need help setting up your account, please contact Wootton’s main office at 240-740-1500 from 8:00 - 3:30 Monday through Friday. 

The Annual Verification is available under the “Online Registration” button in Parent VUE. The Annual Verification replaces the hard copies of the Emergency Forms that have been sent home in past years. Completion of this task ensures we have your most up-to-date contact and emergency information.

Thank you for your continued support of Wootton!  Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns regarding this week’s events.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Boldon

Principal
