Marcum Matters
July 23rd, 2023
Each grade span (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) has a scheduled daily intervention time. Our school-wide focus for intervention this year is math, but other student needs may be addressed during this time as well. At the beginning of each 4-5 week intervention cycle, students will take a pre-assessment for specific math standards. Based on these pre-assessments and classroom data, teachers will group students based on their identified needs. Each student is sent home with an “Intervention Placement Communication” form at the start of each intervention cycle so that families know what skills their student will be focusing on during this intervention time – so be on the lookout! If you have questions related to intervention, please contact your child’s classroom teacher for more information.
On October 31st, the students are allowed to wear their costumes to school if they choose to do so. (No weapons; Dress code applies.) We will have a costume parade in the morning where all students will have the opportunity to participate. There will be prizes available for students with the best costumes in each grade span.
During Monday early release time in the month of October, teachers will be looking at pre-assessment data to place students in groups for our second intervention cycle, participate in a Choose Love workshop on Courage and Gratitude, receive professional development to further skills with the English 3D and Edmentum Exact Path programs, and continue the development of grade level signature writing experiences.
Congratulations to the following students for being accepted as members of Marcum’s California Junior Scholarship Federation based on grades from Trimester 3 of the 23-24 school year! We look forward to having both 7th and 8th graders apply in November for membership based on 24-25 Trimester 1 report cards.
