Hoover Title I Goals for 2022 – 2023

By June 2023, 65% of our K-4 students will reach their Typical Growth Goals on the i-Ready Math Diagnostic.

We would expect a student to meet 50% or more of his or her Typical Growth Goal by February of 2023. If a child makes 50% or more of his or her Typical Growth Goal, the child is on track to meet their end of the year Typical Growth Goal. Here is a summary of how our students did by grade level on the i-Ready Middle of the Year Math Diagnostic:

K = 62% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

1st Grade = 65% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

2nd Grade = 52% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

3rd Grade = 60% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

4th Grade = 73% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

4th Grade = 72% met 50% or more of their Typical Growth Goals

By June 2023, the number of K-2 students reading at grade level benchmark or above, as measured by the DIBELS composite score, will increase by 10% from baseline universal screeners.

K = BOY: 34%; Goal: 37%; MOY: 59%

1st Grade = BOY: 63%; Goal: 69%; MOY: 64%

2nd Grade = BOY: 69%; Goal: 76%; MOY: 67%

Hoover teachers and support staff will use the newly established SWPBIS Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions and supports to decrease the number of discipline referrals by 5 percentage points from a baseline of 454.

February of 2022 = 293 Discipline Referrals

February of 2023 = 209 Discipline Referrals

Discipline Referrals are down by 84 or 28.6%.

The results from these assessments are used to ensure that all of our students get the support that they need in order to meet the PA Core Standards. We also use the results of these assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of our elementary curriculum.

I know that it can sometimes be necessary to schedule family vacations during the school year. If at all possible, please try to schedule your family vacations during our Spring Break, or before or after our PSSA test administration.

If you have any questions about these assessments, please email me at dglennon@neshaminy.org or call me at (215) 809-6340.

Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Please have your child stay at home if they are not feeling well. If they go to school, their condition may worsen and their illness may spread to others. A child may return to school after all symptoms are gone and they are diarrhea/vomit/fever free for 24 hours. This means, for example, that if a child is sent home at 10:00am on a Monday, the earliest he/she may return to school after being symptom free for 24 hours would be Wednesday. Please report to our nurse’s office any confirmed diagnosis of any contagious illness such as strep throat, conjunctivitis, fifths disease, flu, etc.

Thank you,

Kristi Wert, MSN, RN, CSN
