The Bulldog Bark
September 2, 2022
We are 18 days in to the new year!
Your child may have shared with you that they have recently taken some assessments called NWEA. Students in grades K-3 take two reading assessments and one math assessment, and students in grades 4 and 5 take one reading and one math assessment. NWEA provides information about how each student is progressing throughout the school year and shows specific skill areas of strength areas of potential growth.
You can expect to see your child’s data report in middle of September. The data from NWEA is shared with parents so you can collaborate with your child’s teacher to understand and support your child’s progress. The partnership between home and school is paramount for a child's success.
Check out the amazing work of our students by clicking on the Art Show below!
