Greetings from Groveport Elementary

Dear Groveport Elementary Families,

All students have completed the 2nd i-Ready Reading and Math Diagnostic and I wanted to share how proud I am of our students and teachers. It was wonderful to see students setting goals around their academic reading and math growth, trying their best and reflecting on their results with their teacher. Collectively as a school our students grew 15,149 points in reading and 8,192 points in math. Students are have made 90% progress towards their annual typical growth for Reading and 62% for Math. The Diagnostic is an important tool we use to understand your child better and where we can offer the best support. You should have received or will be receiving your child's overall results and growth for reading and math. If you have any questions after reviewing the results, please let us know. You can also talk to your student about the work they just completed and learn more about their progress. Here are some questions you can use to spark a discussion:

• What was it like to take the Diagnostic?
• What did you do during the test to make sure you did your best?
• Tell me about some of the reflections you’ve made from your data.
• What are you proud of?
• What do you need to work on?
• How can I help support your goals?

We are so excited to see how much more growth our students make between now and the last diagnostic in May.Thank you again for your continued partnership and support with your child's learning.

Have a great weekend!

April :)
