Dear Families,

What an incredible week we've had at our cherished school! Witnessing the enthusiasm and happiness with which our students engage in their learning has brought immense joy to our hearts. Their dedication and hard work have been truly commendable, and it's been a pleasure to observe many of them embodying our core values.


We're thrilled to showcase their achievements on our Leopard Spots bulletin board and in our online morning announcements. In addition, this week marked the initiation of live morning announcements through the PA system, providing us with another avenue to celebrate the remarkable efforts of our students. Congratulations to the 5th-grade students who did an outstanding job sharing the announcements with the entire school.

Together, we are fostering a positive environment for our entire community, and it's heartening to see the collective efforts yielding such wonderful results.


As we prepare for Veteran's Day tomorrow, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the members of our community who have served in the armed forces. We acknowledge you, and we thank you.


With a heart full of gratitude,

Stacy

Bring My Grown to Morning Meeting Bring My Grown to Morning Meeting

We are pleased to announce Bring My Grown Up to Morning Meeting will take place next week. 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.
