Read Your Heart Out,
Dr. Groover!
Our Principal has cleared her calendar to share her love for reading on
Friday, November 14.
She will be in our school lobby wearing her pajamas and reading all day long, as part of the Read Your Heart Out Principal Challenge. The Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program has challenged all principals to read from bell to bell to celebrate National Young Readers Week (November 10-14). This is an annual event co-founded by Pizza Hut and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. One lucky elementary school principal will win 101 copies of the ninth book in the Wimpy Kid series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul . Jeff Kinney, author of the Wimpy Kid books, will personally autograph one of the books for the winning principal who read their heart out.
Bring in a jar of PEANUT BUTTER (24oz. or less) to join Dr. Groover in wearing PAJAMAS during this fun celebration of reading! All proceeds will be donated to Blessings in a Backpack-Dearborn.
PICTURE RETAKES are also scheduled for this Friday morning. If the kids needing retakes want to participate, they will be able to change into their pajamas right after their pictures are taken!
Parents will get their student’s scores from the recent NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) at Parent/Teacher conference. The testing results are reported in RITs (Rauch Unit) on the report and in grade equivalent scores on the report card. A RIT score is an estimation of a student’s instructional level and also measures student progress or growth in school. We expect RIT scores to increase over time. Parents and guardians should become comfortable with the understanding that individuals will grow at different rates. Our goal is for teachers to use the data to differentiate and adjust instruction so that all students grow at levels appropriate for each individual. If you have questions, please contact your student’s classroom teacher or Dr. Groover.
Dr. Groover will be holding the annual Title I Parent Meeting each night of conferences and will go into more detail about interpreting the NWEA reports, along with how to help your students success in school. The sessions will be held as follows:
Thursday, Nov. 13 3:45-4:15
Wednesday, Nov. 19 4:30-5:00
Thursday, Nov. 20 5:30-6:00
Wear pink to raise awareness for certain types of Cancer today!
