4th Round of STAR Scores
There is a lot to celebrate - overall our average is up slightly from both December and our 4th round of STAR testing last year. We are doing some things right and moving in the right direction. I know it is frustrating for us not to see more growth in every grade level - but don't give up. Keep working and brainstorming about how we can improve our students' grade level reading. We know that as students improve their reading skills, they will improve in every area.
Leadership Time Next Week
Several teachers have mentioned that they are hearing students talk about the momo challenge. If you are not familiar with what this is - please read this article.
Next week during leadership time one day, please address this with your students. I wouldn't get wrapped up in the specifics of what they challenge is. Just remind students about appropriate technology use and what to do if they see something alarming on a video or game (stop watching it immediately and report to a parent or teacher.) I also would address that this is not a topic that we talk about at school with other students - if they have worries or concerns, please talk to a teacher about those. Let me know if you have questions.
Students were prepared for our conferences back last month before the cold weather hit. Please refresh your students so they will be prepared for next Thursday night. Also remember to send out reminds and encourage students and parents both to come to our event.
Live Scoring
Just a reminder -if any 3rd, 4th or 5th grade teacher would like to schedule live scoring before KPREP testing - get it on the calendar soon. The days are filling up quickly.
