Final Week

Staff,

Thank you for all you've done to make the 17-18 school year a successful one for our students. On Monday the petting zoo will be here from 10:00am-1:00pm. K-3 teachers have signed up for times, but there are some openings if intermediate grade levels want to try to view. Here's the schedule with the times still available. 

Our last day of school at a glance.

9:00 am - All School Meeting

10:30 am - Yearbook Signing

Finally, starting at 9:00am on Monday, certified staff can draw times in the office for checkout on Wednesday. Teachers on cycle for evaluation, who have not reviewed their end of year SLO with me, will need to do this on checkout day. Teachers not on cycle for evaluation will have their SLOs finalized after Wednesday. Please double check that you have submitted both your PPG and end of year SLO.

Finally here's an update on a couple of our end of year building SMARTgoal indicators. As a building, we met one of our big reading achievement goals:  55% of K-5 NH students will be above the 60 percentile on MAP (College and Career Readiness). As a building, 56% of K-5 NH students scored above the 60 percentile on the reading MAP (College and Career Readiness). Also regarding reading MAP growth, we had above average results spring 17-spring 18 for our 1st-5th graders. MAP now combines the percentage of students who met their projected RIT and percentage of projected growth met for an overall percentile called the median conditional growth percentile: as a building our students had above average growth 57% (last line of the report below). I wanted to share with you some great achievement and growth news based on your hardwork and the hardwork of your students. Bravo!
