Data Teams Training
End of Year Honors
If you would like to bring all of your students to the final event to see what their peers have accomplished, that is fine. If your team would like to present other awards from teachers such as most level grown, highest attendance etc, please let me know what those awards will be and plan accordingly. We have approximately 45 minutes for each grade.
Retention Data
Here is our current and unculled retention data for the 17-18 school year.
- We currently have 826 K-5 students and 65 retention candidates.
- If all candidates for retention were retained, we would retain 7.87% of our current students. That is about three classes.
- These numbers are based on the letters sent in April, PRIOR TO EOY BENCHMARKING.
- We routinely see solid growth from MOY to EOY and retentions decrease dramatically.
Percent of possible retentions by grade as of April 2018:
K= 10.84%
1= 11.45%
2= 4.24%
3= 15.2% (remember RTA is in effect here)
4= .78%
5= 2.44%
For 16-17 we had 45 candidates for retention (5.45% of enrollment at the time) 26 were retained. That is a retention rate of 3.15%. For 16-17, one candidate that was promoted from K to 1st is a candidate this year as well. All other promoted candidates are on grade level. All retained candidates from last year are on grade level as well.
Nice work SWE!

Proctors Needed!
We are still in need of proctors for May 30th & 31st. If you know anyone who would like to proctor please reach out to them. They can use the link below to sign up. Proctors do not need to be fingerprinted. If you have military connections please see if there are anyone who may need hours, we can provide a letter with the amount of hours that were volunteered. Please also feel free to copy and paste the URL and send it to your parents.
There is a brief training for proctors and those dates are May 23, 24, 25 & 29th; the times that they can pick from are 8:30, 12:30 and 2:30. If those times do not work, training can be scheduled as needed.
