Please consider coming to school on Friday, May 29 to say goodbye to our 5th graders! Here is what we are going to do....


Staff will park in the parking lot but plan on standing on the grassy island in the bus circle. 5th grade parents are invited to come to our bus circle at 1:00 to get awards, participate in the color bombing, and have a chance to see us celebrating their hard work as they end their time at SES.


If you are willing, please join us at 1:00 in the bus circle (under the awning if the weather is not ideal)...we will have music. Feel free to make posters and get creative! Let's show our 5th graders how proud we are of them and give them the send off they deserve!

2020-2021 School Grade Calculations

2020-2021 School Grade Calculations

Please keep in mind this is a PROPOSAL and not finalized.


To accommodate the missing year of assessment results, learning gains would be calculated based on the improvement from the "prior-prior" year to the current year. For example, a learning gain would be based on improvement from the 2019 Grade 3 FSA ELA to the 2021 Grade 5 FSA ELA.


What this means....

Next year's 3rd grade and 4th grade students will solely count for proficiency on the state assessment. 5th grade students will count for both learning gains and proficiency.


5th grade, we will notify you of bottom quartile students.
