iREADY Testing--
Teachers use these scores in combination with other classroom data to support individual students within the year. School and district leaders use these scores in combination with other information to support all students and improve instructional programs.
In the fall, scores give students, families, teachers, and leaders a starting point to show where students are academically at the beginning of the year.
In the middle of the year, scores serve as a checkpoint to help support intervention planning & monitoring, reading improvement plans.
In the spring, scores are used, along with other information, to show where students are at the end of the year and provide some information about how much students grew academically.

As we begin the school year, we want to share some important reminders to ensure a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal process:
🚗 Drop-Off & Pick-Up via Car Line
-
Car line begins on Drexel Street.
-
Morning drop-off starts at 8:15 AM for students eating breakfast.
-
Please stay in your vehicle during drop-off and pick-up—this helps keep the line moving quickly and smoothly.
-
If your child isn’t able to open the car door independently, now is a great time to practice and review car line routines together.
🏫 Morning Line-Up (indoor line-up by the classroom doors)
-
For this week, students will line up inside by their classroom door.
-
All students can enter the building for breakfast in the gym at 8:15.
- Students who are in the building from 8:15 will be dismissed and allowed to their classroom door at 8:30.
- If students are not coming for breakfast they will wait outside the building until 8:30, so please plan accordingly!
If you're unsure of your child’s classroom teacher, staff will be available to assist and provide that information.
-
-
Please be PATIENT as we all adjust back into routine—your support is appreciated!
🚌 Bus Riders
-
Students taking the bus will have tags attached to their backpacks to help identify their correct bus.
-
If your child will be riding the bus, please:
-
Inform their teacher this week, and
-
Talk to your child about bus safety and rules.
-
🚶♀️ Parking and Walking to School
-
If you plan to park and walk your child to school, please enter from Drexel Street and park near the playground area. MONDAYS are Garbage days, so please do not park on the street!
🎒 Material Donations
-
If you’re bringing in classroom donations, please place them in a labeled bag and send them with your child to hand directly to their teacher.
-
You’re also welcome to drop these items off later in the week if that’s more convenient.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we kick off a great school year! We’re excited to see everyone soon!
