Dear Wildwood Families,
We made it through our first full week of the 2020-21 school year! It was so nice having kindergarteners joining us this week too! With your support at home, your child(ren) are truly showing how flexible they are and ready to learn as we dove right into content and curriculum this week. We also had our first of many Parent Partnership Zooms and it was really impactful to get families' input as it relates to PBIS, remote learning expectations, and general feedback. We hope to see more of you at upcoming Parent Partnership Zooms. Future dates and Zoom links are below.
Beginning next week, we will start our Beginning of Year Assessments. These include independent reading leveling (IRLA), Panorama student perception surveys (3rd-5th graders), WaKIDS Math & ELA Assessments (Kinder), and i-Ready Math & ELA Assessments (1st-5th graders). More information is detailed below and will be communicated further next week, but all you need to know from a parent perspective is that there is nothing students need to do ahead of time to prepare for these assessments other than being ready to show what they know! They merely tell us their current levels and help us plan individualized instruction for your child(ren).
Thank you again for your partnership. We couldn't do it without all of you.
Proudly,
Sarah Jackson
