Theatre is Returning to FES for the Second Semester!

As we come back for our second semester, students will participate in the following Co-Curr classes: PE, Music and Theatre. 

Students have enjoyed our Art class with Mrs. Wilson during first semester. As such, we look forward to welcoming our new theatre teacher, Mrs. Piontkowski will switch locations to teach the second portion of Co-Curr. Mrs. Wilson will be teaching Art at Friendship Elementary and Mrs. Piontkowski will be coming here and will teach our Theatre Co-Curr class.  Thank you, Mrs. Wilson, for cultivating the talents of our artists this semester!  

Middle of the Year MAP Testing

We are excited that we have completed our Middle of the Year MAP tests, and if you haven't already received it, your teacher will soon share your child’s Middle-of-Year (MOY) NWEA MAP Growth Report, which provides valuable information about your child’s academic progress in reading mathematics, and/or science. The MAP Growth assessment is an adaptive test that measures what students know and what they are ready to learn next. Because the test adjusts to each student’s individual performance, it offers a detailed picture of growth over time.

This report shows:

• Your child’s RIT score, which reflects their instructional level and helps guide classroom planning.

• Growth from the beginning of the year, showing how your child is progressing toward their academic goals.

• Projected growth for the remainder of the year, based on national norms.

• Teachers use this information, along with classroom work, observations, and other assessments, to support your child’s learning and provide instruction that meets their individual needs.

We encourage you to review the report and talk with your child about their progress. A simple conversation about goals and effort can make a meaningful difference in motivation and confidence. If you have questions about the results or how we use MAP Growth to support student learning, please reach out to your child’s teacher or campus administrator.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. We are proud of the hard work our students are putting in, and we look forward to celebrating their continued growth throughout the remainder of the school year.
