This week we are meeting on Thursday so we can have almost a full week of NWEA data submitted. We are going to use the data that is submitted to look at goal setting with students. We will roll this information out to you on your next data day!
Reminder about 2 hour delays
If there is a 2 hour delay on your cluster morning, cluster will still plan on meeting an hour later than your normal meeting time.
IB
Reminder (again) about upcoming Mondays
We will still have data meetings on these Tuesday mornings.
Testing the next several weeks/months
NWEA: Remember to assign tests for your class. If you need help doing this because you have forgotten, you can ask Jenn, Holly, Melissa, or Robert. They can help you out. Or, bring your computer to the data meeting on Monday morning and we will help you.
The weeks for these are as follows:
January 11-15 - Reading Assessment
January 19-22 - Math Assessment
January 25-29 - Language Acquisition Assessment (Grades 3-5 only)
PTO Bingo Night
Data Days
Counselor's Corner
West Goshen received $827 for the box tops that the students turned in during the 2014-2015 school year. Thank you for encouraging and reminding the students to bring in their box tops. The money will be used to pay for the West Goshen Way t-shirts.
A huge thank you to West Goshen Church of the Brethren who recently gave us a check for over $450 to put in our emergency fund for students and families. Some of this money has already been used to pay for a student’s glasses.
Reading Camp for 2nd grade students will start in February. This is an after school program where our students are paired up with a volunteer from the community to read with and play reading games. If you know of anyone that would like to volunteer for this program, please let me know. It is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:10 to 4:00.
