National Hispanic Heritage Month began on September 15th. We would like to honor and shout out our students and families that are of Hispanic Heritage. This newsletter offers others a wide variety of resources for a month of celebrating and honoring the history, culture, and contributions of Americans whose families hail from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. We would love for you to share your heritage at our Multi-Cultural Fair in May. Reach out to our Assistant Principal Mr. Praylor if you are interested.

MAP is a norm referenced measure of student growth over time. MAP assessments, joined with other data points, provide detailed, actionable data about where each child is on his or her unique learning path. On Tuesday each teacher will pass out goal sheet graphs to share with each student in their class. Their graph is a prediction model that will give an estimate of where they should perform. Their goal is to meet the predetermined goal or beyond whether that is on grade level or not. We will celebrate MAP growth in the near future and we would love for them to be a part. Please partner with us and ask your child where they were last year in Spring for MAP and their new FALL goal.
