Re-Registration 2017-2018

By now everyone should have received an e-mail from the regional office and TADS regarding re-registration for the 2017-2018 school year.  If you did not please see Alba.

An on-line interim assessment will be administered to students in grades K-8 this week.

Testing will begin on Tuesday February 7th. There is a one week window for the testing and parents will receive the results in approximately 2 weeks.

PreK For All Class Evaluation

The three PreK For All Classrooms will be evaluated on Wednesday February 8th using the above rubrics.

The results of the evaluation will be available in 6 weeks.

I-Ready

Students in grades K-8 will begin instruction using the           i-Ready program and Logins and Passwords will be sent home in the next week (grades 3, 4 and 5 already have logins and passwords).

 This is another on-line program that can be done at home to increase Mathematics and ELA (English Language Arts)skills.

It can be done on a computer, on an i-pad or an i-phone.

 Like Achieve 3000 and IXL, i-Ready works at the child's level slowly increasing skill development. Parents are urged to have their child do 20 minutes a day of online work with one of these programs daily that includes weekends! Students who are experiencing academic difficulty should be working regularly with these programs to raise grades that may have been poor on the last report card.

For those children who "lost" or "forgot" their passwords please see the classroom teacher.
