Week 3
August 26 - August 30, 2024
Back-To-School Night
Come meet your child's teacher and hear about all the amazing things your child will be learning and participating in this year! Be sure to sign in on the sign in sheet when you arrive to the teachers' class. We will be collecting those and sending home a special gift for ALL students in attendance at Tuesday's Back to School Event.
Back to School is an important event where we can collaborate and help set our students up for success. Let's get off on the right foot. We are looking for 100% participation in every single classroom.
Beginning of Year Testing
We are wrapping up our beginning of the year diagnostic test this week for iReady Reading, iReady Math, and DIBELS. Please make sure that when students are not ill, they are at school. Every learning day is very valuable. Here is a calendar to remind you of your attendance targets. We will be celebrating August perfect attendance soon.
Morning Valet
Safety First!
Meet the fabulous 5 at your service for valet every morning!
Ms. Esme, Ms. Jenn, Mr. Louie, Mr. Orlando, and Mrs. Hoffer!
Parents and families, thank you for your continued support in making sure students only exit on the passenger side and are ready to go. Do not u-turn in front of the school. Do not double park to unload.
When picking up, walk ups should move to the left so students have a safe visual on the valet line. Those signs with your child's names really help expedite the process.
What is iReady?
i-Ready is an online program for reading and/or mathematics. We administer the diagnostic assessments to determine our student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows our teachers to meet our student exactly where they are and provides data to increase our student’s learning gains. i-Ready consists of two parts: Diagnostic and Personalized Instruction. After the diagnostic test they can log onto iReady to work on their pathways (computer programmed based on their test results) OR their assignments, hand-selected and assigned by their teachers.
All students in K-5 will take iReady Math and iReady Reading.
What is DIBELS
DIBELS ® (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of literacy skills. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures that can be used to regularly detect risk and monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills in kindergarten through eighth grade.
All students in grades K-2 will take the DIBELS assessments.
Scholastic Book Fair
Students may purchase items from the Scholastic Book Fair when they visit the library during their assigned time this coming week. Please check with your child's teacher so you know exactly when to send cash or the e-wallet certificate. We sent the flyer and information home last week. E-Wallet info
