A Message From Principal Abeal
Happy New Year! West Belmar School looks forward to an exciting year of academic, emotional and physical growth for our bear cubs.
This month the students will be participating in the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) mid-year assessment. The DIBELS test will help identify specific reading skills to measure students reading fluency, decoding skills and comprehension. Reading Specialist from across the district will administer the assessment to all students. The results will measure students reading skills and assist teacher with developing an instructional plan for each student.
