CCSL Elementary Can't Be Beat!
Happy FriYAY Wolves! We hope everyone enjoyed those warm "summer" days but also enjoying the calm that tends to come with fall weather! We are so excited to report that we are seeing so many amazing things happening in and out of the classroom! From hard work, to friendships, our students have no limits to their greatness. It is crazy to think it is only October! We cannot wait to see all the amazing achievements they accomplish throughout the rest of the year!
Worcester State Winners!
This year our fabulous fourth graders have partnered with colleges and they are loving it! This week, Ms Gallella's class was sent some very cozy swag from Worcester State to give to three lucky winning students! Congrats to Sonaya, Knyaz, and Renzo for being the winners and walking away looking Worcester State proud!
Looking for the GOOD Always!!
We are another a month into looking for students who are being a W.O.L.F (Working Responsibly, Owning Our Choices, Loving Learning, Friendship). It is starting to look like we will have to decorate the whole hallway with the number of WOLF notes our students are earning. They are even shouting out one another and their teachers! Congrats to all our surprise shoutouts this week and a huge thanks to Cayden and Renzo for being our WOLF Reporters and sharing the shoutouts on the loudspeaker for the whole school!
Congrats To Our Winners!
After a few weeks with no winners, we are THRILLED to announce that we had four winners this week for Perfect Attendance!!!!! Congratulations to KGA, 1B, 3B and 4B for keeping your absences low and your love of learning high! These lucky four classes get to hold the attendance trophy for the week and have their perfect attendance super star hanging on their door for all classes to see! We can't wait to see if they will keep the trophies next week or if some new classes will win!!
This year we will be shifting to Standards Based Report Cards
A new standards-based report card format will be introduced in grades K-4 in the 2025-2026 school year. While parents and students in grades K-4 will continue to view report cards through Power School, the format will look different. Students in grades 3-4 will continue to receive a letter grade for each subject, but will also be assessed using state standards for each subject area, including specials. Kindergarteners will continue to be assessed using only standards. Teachers will assess students using the state standards to insure clarity and consistency in expectations across classroom and grade levels. The standards-based design will allow more detailed feedback aligned with specific learning goals for each of the subjects, thereby aiding parents, students, teachers and administrators to focus on growth and areas needing additional support.
