Week of May 5-9
Happy Month
of May!
As we enjoy
some of the warmth of the springtime air, students are engaged in assessments
that are utilized to capture academic growth from fall to spring. Students in K5-3 will be participating in MAP
assessments, benchmark reading assessments, writing and math assessments. This data provides the teachers with valuable
information that will assist them in identifying students’ needs for the remainder of the
school year, as well as for next year.
It also serves as a tool for our school to evaluate the effectiveness of
our programs and instruction.
