Student Shout Outs
Assessment Information
Dear Parent/Caregiver,
We previously sent a notification about Universal Screening Assessments that we complete in the Fall, Winter, and Spring to see how students are performing in Reading and Math. This helps us see how students are doing and the best ways for us to respond to support their learning. While it includes great measures of reading and math skill development, we also use other pieces of information to best support our students.
We want to take this opportunity to explain some next steps in response to those assessments. All caregivers will receive a report that illustrates performance across reading and math. Some students benefit from extra teaching and support and some students benefit from extra learning beyond the core content. We work to address the array of our learners needs.
If your student(s) fell within a range that suggests additional support would be helpful in their early reading development, you will receive additional communication about a personal reading plan to promote their learning in the coming weeks. Students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) with scores that suggest a need for additional reading support will have personal reading plans developed in addition to their IEPs.
Thank you for your partnership and support,
Educators of Sun Prairie Area School District
Estimado Padre/Cuidador,
Anteriormente enviamos una notificación sobre las Evaluaciones de Evaluación Universal que completamos en otoño, invierno y primavera para ver cómo se desempeñan los estudiantes en lectura y matemáticas. Esto nos ayuda a ver cómo les está yendo a los estudiantes y las mejores maneras de responder para apoyar su aprendizaje. Si bien incluye excelentes medidas de desarrollo de habilidades de lectura y matemáticas, también utilizamos otra información para apoyar mejor a nuestros estudiantes.
Queremos aprovechar esta oportunidad para explicar algunos de los próximos pasos en respuesta a esas evaluaciones. Todos los cuidadores recibirán un informe que ilustra el desempeño en lectura y matemáticas. Algunos estudiantes se benefician de enseñanza y apoyo adicionales y otros estudiantes se benefician de aprendizaje adicional más allá del contenido básico. Trabajamos para abordar la gama de las necesidades de los estudiantes.
Si su(s) estudiante(s) se encuentran dentro de un rango que sugiere que un apoyo adicional sería útil en su desarrollo temprano de la lectura, recibirá comunicación adicional sobre un plan de lectura personal para promover su aprendizaje en las próximas semanas. A los estudiantes con Planes de Educación Individual (IEP) con puntajes que sugieren la necesidad de apoyo adicional en lectura se les desarrollarán planes de lectura personales además de sus IEP.
Gracias por su asociación y apoyo,
Educadores del distrito escolar del área de Sun Prairie

Tip Line Entry
New Electronic Safety Tip Line
The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority for the district. We have been teaching our students to say something to a trusted adult when they see something unsafe. Sometimes, though, there are barriers to reporting safety issues in person. Tip lines are one common approach that schools use to promote school and student safety and well-being. Tip lines are designed to provide students or other members of the public with a safe and confidential way to report a threat to a student or school safety.
To that end, we have created an Electronic Safety Tip Line available on the district website. The e-Tip Line allows students, parents, or community members to report weapons, threats of violence, bullying, sexual harassment, threat of suicide, drugs, and any other activity that could potentially endanger students, staff, and property.
We are developing a communication plan to roll this out to students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school. The e-Tip Line is available on the district website from the “Families” menu and “Quicklinks” and can also be found on the district bullying and safety webpages. If a student wishes to file a bullying report, please fill out a Bullying Report Form on the website.
