Fall Screening Results
Fall Screening Results
On Friday, October 10, students in K-Prep through 5th grade will bring home their fall screening scores in their bag. You’ll receive two pages: one showing your child’s FastBridge results and another with their NWEA MAP scores. These parent reports are designed to be easy to understand, and teachers will review them in more detail during November conferences.
If you have any questions before then, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.
In addition, any student who has not yet met grade-level proficiency will receive a personalized learning plan (or an updated plan) along with the reports. A letter with more information is linked below.

It is getting chilly. Please send a hat, gloves, and warm coat with your child to ensure they are comfortable in this colder weather. Keep in mind there is an AM, Noon, and PM recess.
Third, fourth, and fifth graders are very independent but are often the age group that forgets to bring these items consistently.
