Welcome to the April edition of the PL Lighthouse! 
This monthly email blast and webpage has been designed to serve much like a lighthouse, to serve as a way forward and help in navigating through the busy school year. Nothing else speaks of safety in the face of adversity and challenge quite like the lighthouse.

End of Year MAP Testing Window 
The end of the year Spring MAP assessment window will open May 1st and close May 29th. Since there are many end of the year events planned in the last month of school, please begin planning ahead and preparing your school MAP schedules.*Note that we're opening the testing window a few days earlier to accommodate for teachers who are using MAP data for their SLOs. 

If you would like to learn more about MAP reports please go to this link:
