Progress Report/

NWEA Map Parent Report/

NYSESLAT Report

On Friday October 22nd Mr. Woods distributed Progress Reports to students in Grades 1-8 along with the Parent Report on MAP Testing and for some students their scores on the NYSESLAT test administered last Spring.

If children scored below the 50th percentile in any of their subjects on the NWEA MAP test parents should think about registering their child for the Title I after school program. Students who also did not score that well in either Mathematics or ELA on the Progress Report should also be registered for the Title I program.

Registration for the Title I program will close in November and parents should take advantage of the free program.

OFFICE HOUR

Parents who wish to speak to me can reach me by appointment on Fridays from 12:45pm to 1:15pm. Please call the school office and you will be connected to my extension.
