Week of December 5th
NEWS & UPDATES
We have been very busy taking our Winter session of MAPS. Look for your parent report to come home the week of December 16th.
What is MAP?
MAP Growth Assessments are a computer-based assessment which adjusts in difficulty according to your child’s responses to the test items. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier.
These results provide immediate and accurate information about your child and provide a more complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.
MAP Growth scores help teachers check students’ achievement and growth. Teachers use the results to tailor classroom instruction, provide interventions and/or enrichment opportunities, and set goals for student growth.

The 100% Accountable mindset teaches the importance of being responsible for our own happiness and success. Being 100% Accountable means deciding not to be victims of the past and recognizing that the future is not predetermined, so our lives are what we choose in the present moment and each one moving forward. In these lessons, we help students focus on recognizing our fears and excuses. This mindset is about the importance of breaking down barriers and taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions. It also allows us to free our minds and focus our energy on taking the critical steps towards our goals.
WJES students can shop for family and friends at the Holiday Shop!
Items available will cost between $2.00 and $6.00.
Parents- It's helpful to include a list of who your child needs to buy for when you send in money for your child. Cash, check, and debit/credit accepted.
Your child's teacher will let you know what day their class will visit the Holiday Shop!
LOST AND FOUND ITEMS!
Our lost and found items continue to GROW! All items will be outside on our front porch each weekend. You are welcome to stop by and see if you can find any of your child's lost items. Any items left in our lost and found will be donated on December 21st! Here are just a few of the items currently in our lost and found.
