Dear Families,


Our students are super excited for tonight's Trunk or Treat! Today, it felt like Halloween was in the air for sure.


We are pleased to announce Bring My Grown Up to Morning Meeting will take place in November. I know this month was a busy event filled month. But we're excited to invite you back to participate in Morning Meeting. We will also invite you to join us in the Learning Commons immediately following your classroom visit to have a discussion about what you can learn from our new literacy assessment, DIBELS. Please see the schedule below. Meetings begin promptly at 8:15 a.m.


Why Use DIBELS?


DIBELS 8th Edition is more useful for more students in more grades than ever before. DIBELS 8th Edition is the least invasive, and one of the most effective screening tools available. It is used widely in Title 1 schools across the nation. Lowell is a universal Title 1 school, with students in special education programs and identified with specific learning disabilities like dyslexia, and by educators focused on improving literacy for all students. Schools and districts choose DIBELS 8th Edition as their assessment solution because they trust scientific evidence, research-based practices, and decades of experience in teaching and learning on which DIBELS is based.


This is our annual Title 1 Meeting to explain assessment, intervention and WIN.


With a grateful heart!

Stacy
