PFES - Board Report
February, 2021
Monthly Safety Drill: Armed Intruder/Lockdown
Date: 2/18/2021
Subject: School Safety Monthly Report to School Board
The Park Falls Elementary School conducted a tabletop drill to validate the current emergency plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for a FIRE scenario on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 8:05 AM with all students and staff. The discussion focused on what a child should do if they were outside of the classroom and not with their class and a fire alarm went off.

District Assessment Coordinator Update from AWSA Elementary Principal Conference
I do not view this as a bad change however. The change is intended to reduce variability in scores, particularly in our size district, because of demographic changes in the district. Score changes should now be more reflective of changes in curriculum and instruction.
One limiting factor of the State School Report Card is that it is one assessment and the results are returned to schools months after the assessment is given. Our use of classroom assessments and local standardized tests such as AimsWeb Plus are more useful and reliable for district measures of student growth. These district tests guide our work to close our local achievement gap.
