Principal's Message
On Thursday, April 16th we will be having a parent workshop on Common Core standards and assessment. Please join us to view the types and rigor of questions that your child will be experiencing at the end of April. Also, below is a link to a document describing the Depths of Knowledge (DOK) framework. The DOK framework is a foundation for instruction and assessment of the Common Core Standards. Classroom instruction throughout a unit should cover the entire range of levels so that students acquire knowledge, skills and abilities at every level.
