Principal's Message
It's hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through the school year! Right now, all students at CFT are taking iReady assessments in Math and Reading. Students take these assessments on their iPads three times each year (Fall, Winter, and Spring) and are an important snapshot in helping us measure and understand the learning that is happening for each child in every classroom. Our goal is to have at least 95% of our students complete the test by next Friday, and I'm proud to report that as of today, 62% of our students are already done with both assessments and that we're seeing excellent growth over their Fall scores! As a school, we use this information, along with assessments and observations every day, to paint a learning portrait of every student so that we can better meet their academic needs.

Mensaje de la Directora
¡Es difícil creer que estamos casi a la mitad del año escolar! En este momento, todos los estudiantes de CFT están tomando las evaluaciones iReady en Matemáticas y Lectura. Los estudiantes toman estas evaluaciones en sus iPads tres veces al año (otoño, invierno y primavera) y nos dan resultados importantes que nos ayudan a medir y comprender el aprendizaje que está ocurriendo para cada estudiante en cada salón de clases. Nuestro objetivo es que al menos el 95% de nuestros estudiantes completen la evaluación a más tardar el próximo viernes y me enorgullece informar que, a partir de hoy, el 62% de nuestros estudiantes ya terminaron ambas evaluaciones y estamos viendo un excelente crecimiento a comparación de sus puntajes de otoño! Como escuela, usamos esta información, junto con evaluaciones y observaciones todos los días, para pintar un retrato de aprendizaje de cada estudiante para que podamos satisfacer mejor sus necesidades académicas.
