Thank you for another WONDERFUL Grandparent's Day!
Thank you for inviting grandparents to CES last week! Our gym and lunch room were filled with smiling faces, giggles and great food!
Our First Late Start of the Year is This Week!
DON'T FORGET- LATE START THIS WEDNESDAY- SEPTEMBER 10TH!
CES Doors will open at 9:50am with school starting at 10am. NO BREAKFAST WILL BE SERVED. Busses will run approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes later than normal start time.
During our late start days, our PreK 3 classes will not be in session and our PreK 4 year old program will keep their normal hours. Please let us know if you have any questions!
This Week: PreK Screener, Acadience Reading and Math Testing
This week teachers will be conducting pieces of our beginning of the year assessments. These assessments include: PELI (PreK Screener), Acadience Reading and Acadience Math
PELI- Assesses students language and comprehension as well as alphabet and sound knowledge
Acadience Reading- Assesses students foundational reading skills, including reading fluency and vocabulary
Acadience Math- Assess students computation skills (math facts) as well as mathematical reasoning and understanding.
These assessments help us to see where students are in their skills to help us measure their growth throughout the year. If students are behind in an area, these tests give us information to form groups in our intervention times as well as additional tutoring.
Results of these assessments and more will be shared at our fall parent- teacher conferences later next month! If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher, Mrs. Kill our Reading Specialist, or Mrs. Littrell!
