Summer Literacy Program- Camp Splash for current K-2 students
Over the last few weeks notices have been going out to this year's K-2nd grade students who are in need of additional reading support. UCISD has developed an intensive early literacy intervention program "CAMP SPLASH" designed to improve students reading rates and motivation. The program will take place at Robb Elementary. Batesville students will receive special transportation to and from Robb elementary on WIFI enabled buses and there will be learning embedded on the bus ride. We will be having a district informational session in the coming weeks.
No Excuses University Set for Big Impact at Batesville Elementary
Staff members at Batesville Elementary and around UCISD have begun to attend professional development on the No Excuses University school Model.

We are thrilled about the success that was demonstrated by our 5th grade students, and we are confident that their success will be followed by successes at each of the other testing grade levels. Each day there are 140 or so student success stories, and I am so proud to be part of the professional team that is dedicated to increasing student success.
