Wildcat Families,

One of our biggest priorities here at CFT is working to make sure that each of our students leaves our school as a proficient reader. With this in mind, we use a data-based system to provide students with reading instruction intended to match an appropriate rate and level regardless of student ability. Today, I’d like to outline what our reading program looks like in our multi-tiered system of support as we just kicked off our full program this week.

Over the past few weeks, students have taken multiple assessments to help us learn more about their reading abilities related to all things reading from phonics to fluency to vocabulary to comprehension. With this information, we work to identify students whose skills are at or near grade level as well as those who are above and below grade level. There are then multiple ways we use our federally funded Title 1 support staff to help all of our students.

One way we support students is by providing each of our teachers with 25 minutes of additional reading support staff during our daily 90-minute reading block. Having additional staff in the classroom allows teachers to differentiate and teach students in a small group setting, targeting skill development for students in small groups with others who have similar skills.

The second way we serve students with emerging reading skills is through Reading Club. In Reading Club, students spend 30 minutes per day working with our reading support staff in a small group outside the classroom using research-based curriculum that again targets specific skill areas identified in our assessments.

We regularly assess students in Reading Club to ensure they’re making adequate progress and adjust our programming as necessary to help them learn and move closer to grade level. As grade level teams, we meet every 6 weeks to review this information to make and adjust plans both for classroom instruction and Reading Club. If students aren’t making progress after multiple conversations and instructional adjustments, we then do individual problem solving which often involves consultation with families so that we can broaden our conversation and further individualize our reading support.

We’re extremely grateful that we have the opportunity to offer such and extensive reading support program and I’m thankful to have such talented teachers and reading staff that work so hard to help all of our students become proficient readers.

If you have questions about our reading program or want to learn more about our multi-tiered systems of support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Tim, Principal

Familias Wildcat,

Una de nuestras mayores prioridades aquí en CFT es trabajar para asegurarnos de que cada uno de nuestros estudiantes abandone nuestra escuela como un lector competente. Con esto en mente, utilizamos un sistema basado en datos para brindar a los estudiantes instrucción de lectura destinada a igualar un ritmo y nivel apropiados, independientemente de la capacidad del estudiante. Hoy, me gustaría describir cómo se ve nuestro programa de lectura en nuestro sistema de apoyo de varios niveles, ya que acabamos de iniciar nuestro programa completo esta semana.

Durante las últimas semanas, los estudiantes han realizado múltiples evaluaciones para ayudarnos a aprender más sobre sus habilidades de lectura relacionadas con todo lo relacionado con la lectura, desde fonética hasta fluidez, vocabulario y comprensión. Con esta información, trabajamos para identificar a los estudiantes cuyas habilidades están al nivel de grado o cerca de él, así como aquellos que están por encima o por debajo del nivel de grado. Luego, existen varias formas en las que utilizamos nuestro personal de apoyo del Título 1, financiado con fondos federales, para ayudar a todos nuestros estudiantes.

Una forma de apoyar a los estudiantes es brindándoles a cada uno de nuestros maestros 25 minutos adicionales de personal de apoyo a la lectura durante nuestro bloque de lectura diario de 90 minutos. Tener personal adicional en el aula permite a los maestros diferenciar y enseñar a los estudiantes en un entorno de grupos pequeños, centrándose en el desarrollo de habilidades para los estudiantes en grupos pequeños con otros que tienen habilidades similares.

La segunda forma en que servimos a los estudiantes con habilidades de lectura emergentes es a través del Club de Lectura. En el Club de Lectura, los estudiantes pasan 30 minutos por día trabajando con nuestro personal de apoyo a la lectura en un grupo pequeño fuera del aula utilizando un plan de estudios basado en investigaciones que nuevamente se enfoca en áreas de habilidades específicas identificadas en nuestras evaluaciones.

Evaluamos periódicamente a los estudiantes en el Club de Lectura para asegurarnos de que estén logrando un progreso adecuado y ajustamos nuestra programación según sea necesario para ayudarlos a aprender y acercarse al nivel de grado. Como equipos de nivel de grado, nos reunimos cada 6 semanas para revisar esta información y hacer/ ajustar planes tanto para la instrucción en el aula como para el Club de Lectura. Si los estudiantes no progresan después de múltiples conversaciones y ajustes de instrucción, entonces solucionamos problemas individualmente, lo que a menudo implica consultar con las familias para que podamos ampliar nuestra conversación e individualizar aún más nuestro apoyo a la lectura.

Estamos extremadamente agradecidos de tener la oportunidad de ofrecer un programa de apoyo a la lectura tan extenso y estoy agradecido de tener maestros y personal de lectura tan talentosos que trabajan tan duro para ayudar a todos nuestros estudiantes a convertirse en lectores competentes.

Si tiene preguntas sobre nuestro programa de lectura o desea obtener más información sobre nuestros sistemas de apoyo de varios niveles, no dude en comunicarse.


Atentamente,

Tim, Director

Volunteering/Donating a Dish (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXApmjeV8dJfjJcvvLrAuBY47k1_6F4nymjiw3ZAHhAmjYOw/viewform)

Your feeder schools are excited to invite you to our Hispanic Heritage Celebration in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, 2024. The celebration will be held at Fowler Middle School on October 16, 2024, from 5 PM to 8 PM, we're aiming to make this year’s event even more memorable than the last!

Last year’s celebration was filled with incredible dishes shared by our families and generous contributions from local Tigard businesses. It was a true community effort, with collaboration from CFT, MWW, MET, FMS and THS, We're hoping to build on that success this year. We would love to see more families share a dish from their culture, though it’s completely optional.
As we continue to organize this event, we’re welcoming the support of parents and local businesses. Your participation—whether it’s through contributing a dish, donating, or simply attending—will help make this celebration a wonderful reflection of our diverse community.
Thank you in advance for being part of this special event. Your feeder schools can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
