January 9 New Information

Welcome back! We hope everyone had a great break. We are excited to be back into our daily routine. It was great to welcome all the smiling faces back into the building. A few reminders:

Last opportunity to purchase yearbooks is this month. Please see the link below. There will be NO extra yearbooks ordered. Do not wait to purchase.
No school on Monday, January 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
MAP testing will be over the next few weeks! Teachers will send specific testing dates for their class. Please remind your child to do their best but we also don't want students to be stressed out! This data helps teachers determine next steps. We will test in both reading and math (separate days).

Attendance Matters

Attendance is important! Have you ever thought about how it adds up? Please make sure your child is here each and every day they are healthy. If students are absent, send a medical note to the office or email to smounce@sdale.org so we can document the absence as excused.

Bernice Young Elementary is an A school according to the state report card system. Student attendance is part of the equation that determines that letter grade. Please help your child and our school by having your child at school each day they are healthy.

Report cards are coming home soon!

Report cards are coming home next week. Springdale schools uses a standards-based method, not an average of work each quarter. Students will be graded by the following:

4- Met end of year grade-level standards and may be ready to work at greater depth.

3- Expected to progress towards meeting end of year grade-level standards.

2- Less than expected progress toward meeting grade-level standards.

1- Little to no progress toward meeting grade-level standards.

N/A- Not assessed at this time

Please remember that all standards have not been taught at this time. There may not be an opportunity meet or be assessed on the end-of-year standard yet. If you have questions, please contact the classroom teacher.
