Principal's Message from Mrs. Sierra
Hello Champion families! The school year has gotten off to a great start and we couldn't be more proud of our staff and students. We appreciate all of your support these first few weeks of school. Our students have adjusted to their new routines with much learning and growth already taking place. We see so much hope in our Champions and our staff is ready to support our students every step of the way. Our goal is for every student to have a successful school year. Please make sure your child is coming to school daily. Every grade level matters because each one builds upon the other. Let's work together this year to make a difference for your Champion!
With respect,
Christine Sierra, Principal
Calk-Wilson PTA Memebership Drive
This is our year Champions to increase the number of PTA members we had from last school year. The cost is $7 per adult ages 18 and older. Joining PTA does not mean you have to volunteer. Our membership drive actually raises funds for our PTA and will help us qualify for awards at the state and local PTA level. Please be on the lookout for more details coming soon.

Accelerated Reader Program
Our Champions will be working on their personal reading goals this school year and the Accelerated Reader program is one way to guide a student as to which level they are reading on in school. This reading level will tell them which level of books to pick out at our library. The level is called the zone of promixal development or ZPD.
At this point in the school year, students in Grades 1-5 already have their "ZPD" and are now able to check out books from our library. Each student has an AR folder where they track each book they read. The goal is to read the book at least two times and take a quiz on the computer with a passing grade of an 80%. Your student knows how many points he/she should be getting each week and by the end of the six weeks. We enourage you to discuss with your child the importance of reaching their weekly and six weeks reading goal. Teachers are required to monitor their students AR progress in class. Students are provided the opportunity to read for at least 20 minutes each day in their classrooms. We strongly encourage that our students continue to read at home as well. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you need more information on your child's AR progress in school. The more you read...the more you know!
