Notes from Ms. Raeburn (The 10)
March: the month of LUCK
In March, my notes section will focus on the upcoming testing season
The Georgia Milestones testing is right around the corner. While we prepare for this test all year, we really focus on the type of questions and format of the test in the next month. Beginning next week, all WIN classes will participate in #ProjectLevelUp. This project is curriculum that we designed and piloted to enhance the work we do in WIN to prepare for the test. Some of the work we will do during this time will be to understand what exemplar constructed responses are and practice writing them with rubrics. It is important that our scholars know exactly how to earn Proficient and Distinguished on GMAS and we know this dedicated work and curriculum will help support this work!

We would love to begin collecting snack donations for GMAS time! If you are willing and able to donate any of the following for your child's grade level team, please send it in to the main office labeled. Thank you.
Donations needed:
- Fruit Snacks
- Snack Crackers (Individually Wrapped)
- Granola Bars (any kind)
- Mini Waters
- Hard Candy (Jolly Ranchers, Mints, Cinnamons, Etc)
- Gum
We will have a celebration for all scholars who earned Proficient and Distinguished on last year's GMAS and we will have a whole school kick off on Friday April 27th.
GMAS this year is scheduled to begin Monday April 30th and run through May 11th.
We are very fortunate at BCMS to be almost 1:1 which allows us to test all our scholars in the morning!
We were able to do a full school RI (Reading Inventory) last week. Ask your child what their “number” is. The Lexile Stretch Band of where we need scholars to be is 997 for 6th grade, 1049 for 7th grade, and 1097 for 8th grade. A Lexile score measures a scholar's reading ability level. We will test again before GMAS and we will set goals for all scholars! If you would like a copy of this report, please contact us and we will send one home with your child.
TRIBE Shop is still open! See Ms. Shelby for GEAR and of course, we are always collecting box tops!
Thank you for being proactive and for supporting our school and our passion work! I am proud to be your principal and would love to hear from you!
