Welcome Back, Imagineers!
Level Up with PRIDE - Week #2 🎮
Greetings, STEAM Family!
We just completed our first full week of school, and it certainly did not disappoint. Our students and staff are already taking it to the next level by focusing this past week on emphasizing our school-wide PRIDE expectations for all areas of our building and introducing our scholars to the grade level standards and skills they will master this school year.
This week, our focus will center on administering the Beginning of the Year Screeners for all students in Reading (Acadience & Reading Inventory) and Math (Math Inventory). These assessments are not graded; however, the data from the screeners will be used to help our instructional staff determine each student's specific skill areas of strength, as well as those areas where additional instructional support is needed. The data from these screeners will also be used to set individualized learning goals for each student at SDE. Throughout the year, we will monitor and keep you informed about the progress your child is making towards his/her goals. As a parent/guardian, you can assist us with this effort by encouraging your child to do his/her best on each administration of these screeners, which will be administered again at the middle of the year (MOY) and end of the year (EOY). Also, while the goal for each student is always achieving proficiency by the end of the school year, it is equally important to celebrate each scholar's GROWTH! Let's "Level Up"!
Finally, weekly grade level newsletters begin this week! Please be sure to check your child's folder each Monday to see what his/her team is specifically working on, along with any additional items or announcements that may require your attention. In the meantime, let's have another great week at SDE!

Remember, every minute really counts!
