Testing will begin on Monday, December 16th. These assessments are valuable tools that allow us to:

• Measure our impact: We can see how effectively our teaching is supporting student learning and identify areas where we can improve.

• Personalize learning: The results help us determine the best ways to support each student's individual needs.

Based on the assessment results, students will be placed in different morning RtI (Response to Intervention) groups designed to optimize their learning:

• Enrichment: Students excelling in reading and/or math will have the opportunity to participate in engaging enrichment activities in areas like STEM, art, reading, and PE.

• Instructional Strategies: Students demonstrating solid overall progress will receive targeted instruction focusing on specific learning strategies to further enhance their skills.

• Classroom Support: Students who need additional support will receive focused instruction in the classroom setting.

We believe that this approach allows us to provide tailored support and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive. We will share your child's individual results with you after the winter break.

Trimester 2 Gameplan

Review grades on trimester 1, what worked, what did not work as well

Schedule a time to meet with a teacher at P-T conferences!!

Practice math daily to build skills and confidence. (Khan Academy)

Read for 15-30 minutes every day to expand your vocabulary & knowledge. (ReadWorks)

Get a good night's sleep to improve focus and memory. (9-12 hours is recommended)

Ask questions when you don't understand something.

Set a goal for yourself this trimester. No absences? No missing assignments? No late work?

Believe in yourself! You can achieve your goals!

It's important for kids to learn from their mistakes. When they try and don't succeed right away, they learn to solve problems and keep trying. This helps them grow and get better. Let's help our kids see mistakes as a way to learn and do better next time.

NO ONE wants them to fail in life! These failures may occur on an in-class assignment, a quiz, a big project or even a test. We are here to support your child(ren) as they encounter these struggles and we are here to push them to new limits each and every time after these failures.
