3rd round of STAR data!

Boom!  We are still meeting our goal - right on the money!  Seventy-five percent of CCES students are reading on grade level or making 0.6 years growth since August!

Here is also a look at our scores compared to last year:

	Test 3 - Current Year	Test 3  -  last year
kindergarten	88%	63%
1st	63%	60%
2nd	88%	80%
3rd	75%	71%
4th	64%	67%
5th	73%	72%
	75%	69%

Things are moving in the right direction.  Keep doing what you know works - Lexia and Reading Plus weekly, encourage AR and the vocabulary tests that goes with it, and solid reading instruction every week.  We know that as our students become better readers - they will improve in every subject area.  

Way to go CCES teachers - your hard work is paying off!

We made it! Christmas time is here.  I hope each of you enjoy your break and spend time with your family.

Remember - beginning after Christmas break - we will move to allowing only one yellow each week instead of two.  Make sure you have communicated this with students and that all grades adhere to this.  

All staff will return to work on January 3rd!

Here is a look at the week when we return to school...

No Panther Time January 3rd - 5th
Wednesday - Kelsie's Baby Shower at 3 pm
Thursday - Grade cards go home 

Have a blessed and joyous Christmas!
