PMP's
PMP EOY Procedures (May 9-May 20)
Our window for making EOY PMP determinations for the 22-23 school year will be May 9-May 20. All teachers of ELA and Math will need to go into myStudent and confirm PMP status for each student on the PMP/Interventions tab.
We will roll in current PMP status of meeting or not meeting standards, so teachers will need to only make updates if the status is changing for 22-23. We want to ensure the PMP designations are as accurate as possible, so we can notify each parent on the Q4 Report Card.
Once we have FSA results for grades 3-10, any student scoring a Level 3, 4, or 5 will be marked as Met Standards for the content area of ELA (Reading and Writing) or Math.
And any student that scores a Level 1 will be marked as Not Met Standards and will roll into the 22-23 school year with a PMP.
Next steps:
Administer spring assessments
Review data and cross check with EOY PMP Considerations tab in myEWS
May 9-May 20, update ELA and Math PMP status for each student in myStudent on PMP/Intervention tab
All 21-22 Tier 3 Intervention Plans in the SSS Module will be Locked on May 25th (OTIS)
Parents will be notified of 22-23 PMP status in Q4 Report Card
Please reach out to Courtney Lough, Jan Anderton, or Larry Porter if you have any questions.
Zearn Summer Math Series
We have current Pasco County data that proves students doing 3 Zearn lessons per week have a significant increase in their NWEA and FSA data. Wouldn’t it be great if we could continue that for the summer? Well, it is here!
Zearn presents their summer 2022 Intensive Math Series which offers a coherent, focused 4–6-week sequence that will build strong foundations for all rising 1st through 9th graders to help them succeed in their 22-23 academic year.
Please note that these lessons would have to be assigned to your students before leaving for the summer and I also encourage you to notify parents about this incredible summer opportunity. Click here to find out more.
Feel free to contact Jan Anderton, should you have any questions.
