Message from EMMS Math Department
Dear Parent/Guardian(s),
Exciting news! New resources have been added to the HCPSS Family Math Support Center for grades K-12. Here, you will find links and videos to support your child during their current math course as well as direct access to the “getting ready” courses that combine topics from your child's previous course and preview topics in their upcoming new course. We hope this is helpful and appreciate your support.
Thank you,
EMMS Math Teachers

Dear Parent/Guardian(s),

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Administration
The MAP Math test is on Wednesday, October 14th at 9:00-11:00am and 1:00-3:00pm for all students in Math 6, Math 7, Math 8, and Pre-Algebra. Students will receive Google Meet codes in their Canvas emails on Monday. If you have any questions, please contact me at michele_doyle-wetzelberger@hcpss.org or call 410-313-2839.
Students who are exempt from MAP are any who are enrolled in high school mathematics courses as the test does not go into those content areas.
Stay well,
Ms. DW
EMMS Assistant Principal and Testing Coordinator
