Letter from the Principal
Dear Lions Park Families,
Happy New Year! It has been wonderful to have everyone back at school. I hope you and your family enjoyed a happy and healthy holiday. I was glad to have some extra time to spend with my daughters, family and friends. We made the most of the mild winter weather and spent a lot of time outside.
The first two school weeks of 2020 have been busy at Lions Park. We have started our benchmark testing. Students took the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test in Mathematics and Reading and participated in oral reading fluency benchmarking. The MAP test is a nationally normed computerized test that measures student growth. The reading fluency test measures how many words students can read accurately in one minute. Students also have taken or will take another computerized math test. Finally, they will read and answer questions one-on-one with their teachers to determine their Fountas and Pinnell reading level. Grade level teaching teams will meet in early February to review the collected data and use it to plan for instruction and to determine if students need additional intervention or challenge.
We appreciate your ongoing help to keep our arrival and dismissal times safe for students and families. We thank you for your efforts to adhere to signs, avoid pick up and drop off in the front and rear parking lot and cross only at designated crossing areas. Please ensure that your child only crosses Council Trail at School Street and at Elm Street . Do not allow them to cross near the bus turnaround or at other areas.
