Math iReady Diagnostic:
Three times during the year students will take the iReady Diagnostic during Math class as early as the second week in September. iReady is the curriculum for Math and the diagnostic is a tool we use to identify each student’s math strengths and areas for growth. The test is adaptive and adjusts to an individual student’s current level based on their responses. The test is NOT graded. The purpose is to gather information on how to best support your student’s math growth and success throughout the school year. Communication will be sent out before each Diagnostic Assessment in September, January, and May.
Reading Focus:
All students will be expected to have a paper book of choice for school this year during Drop Everything and Read time as well as during any class. Drop Everything and Read will officially start week 3 of the school year so that students have time to go to the media center with their English Language Arts teachers if they need to find a choice book. We encourage students to bring their own choice books to school.
Chromebooks:
Sanford students kept their chromebooks over the summer and new students will be issued a school chromebook in the first month of school. Please make sure you store these in a secure location (we recommend the kitchen) and ensure that they are charged every night. Chromebooks are to be used only when teachers require it.
School Start Time/Entrance:
School Starts at 8:40 and the doors open at 8:30am. Students who bike, walk or are dropped off enter the school at door 4. Door 12 and 1 are used for bus drop off.
Lockers:
All students are assigned a locker by their advisory teacher. Lockers will be located near their assigned advisory class. Advisory teachers will give students an assigned lock during the first week
