Mr. Atkins is so excited to, secretly, share that we have shown tremendous growth in Reading and Math this school year and we have met our school-wide i-Ready proficiency goals! This will be shared with students on Monday, May 12th during our morning assembly.
The i-Ready assessment was taken at the start of the school year and again in December. Each time, our school-wide data was shared with students along with our school-wide proficiency goals. All kindergarten through second grade students voted on a school-wide incentive for meeting or exceeding our spring growth goals. Students voted to have Kona Ice and visit Buena Vista Park located on 11th Street, one block from school.
Kindergarten through second grade will have Kona Ice and have the opportunity to visit Buena Vista Park on Monday, May 12th after lunch. Similar to other school trips, there is no specific permission form for this event. All students have permission on file for any school-related trip. If your child is not permitted to attend the park (they will still get Kona Ice) please call the main office.
Attached you will see the overall school reading and math i-Ready data for the school year. Again, students will learn this information Monday morning, so please keep it a secret.
