Booster OUT!
Thank you for supporting our school during this FUN event - we are grateful for our amazing school community!
Yes, we were impacted by the rain Friday. Some grade levels were able to participate in the Fun Run while others had to come inside and participate in a Virtual Dance Party. Every child did participate and was able to complete every one of his/her fitness challenges.
We exceeded our goal of $35k and even our stretch goal of $40k! Way to go Eagle Families!
Because our students and families did so well, our administrators will be participating in an obstacle course with our Booster friends next week. Be on the lookout for a video of this crazy event!
DESSA Screener
This year, teachers will use a tool to measure important life skills that help students grow and succeed throughout their school years, and beyond. These skills are known as social and emotional skills and include things like taking responsibility for one’s actions, persisting at challenging tasks, and working well with others. The tool, called the DESSA, is not a test that is administered to students. Instead, it is a series of questions classroom teachers will answer for each student. Similar to universal academic screening, the purpose of the DESSA is to help identify which skills students have already learned and which skills they might still need to develop. Your child’s initial results will be shared with you during the fall parent/teacher conference. If you would like to learn more, please visit Aperture's Parent Portal, or click here to learn how these skills are connected to the Profile of SC Graduate.
