Conflict Managers – Ready for Action!
We are happy to have the Conflict Manager program back at Washington Street Elementary School. Conflict Managers are fourth and fifth-grade students who serve their school by helping other students resolve conflicts and by assisting students in many other ways during lunch and recess times. Each fall and winter new students are chosen to become Conflict Managers. They are chosen by their classmates and their teachers. The Conflict Managers are trained and scheduled for duty by the school counselor. Conflict Managers help students express their feelings, come up with ideas to solve problems and find their own best solutions. The Conflict Manager team is a great asset to our school.
We would like to congratulate and thank the following students who will be Conflict Managers for the first half of the school year at Washington Street Elementary: Skyla Harig, Austin Mason, Sekoya Root, Ben Arnsman, Remy Coburn, Jocelyn Ray, Arty Akhmetgaleev, Carsen Perry, Zoey Taylor, Karson Comperchio, Rylee Knash, Grace Prough, Addy Sabatke, Samantha Andrade, Ariya Mitchell, Marissa Podewell, Jadynne Dingman, Alea Austin, Trinity Baker, and Melodi Mitchell. Way to go!! We are proud of your commitment and thank you for your community service.
Read By Grade Three
In 2016, the Michigan Legislature passed a law that requires schools to identify learners who are struggling with reading and writing and to provide additional help. The law states that third graders may repeat third grade if they are more than one grade level behind beginning with the
2019-2020 school year.
Students identified with reading concerns have an individual reading improvement plan developed with staff and parents which includes intervention and support at school as well as a read-at-home plan.
More information about the Read by Grade Three law can be found in the video below and at THIS LINK.
