MAP Reports
Please keep in mind that MAP scores are one piece of the puzzle.
Second grade families, also keep in mind that your child's test was not read to them. This is different than they experienced in Kindergarten and First grade.
We encourage our teachers to use classroom data to drive instruction. MAP reports can definitely give insight, however, we mostly use these reports to assess growth from fall to winter and winter to spring. We rely on our daily observations and assessments for instructional methods.
Your child may receive a RIMP (reading improvement and monitoring plan) if he/she did not receive a reading RIT score that is deemed "on track" by the Ohio Department of Education. First graders must score a 149 to be considered "on track" by ODE. Second graders must score a 164 to be considered "on track". If your child receives a RIMP, your child's teacher will contact you to discuss the letter and what he/she will be doing to provide extra reading support in the classroom. This will most likely happen during your parent/teacher conferences on October 7th or 14th.
If you have questions, please call Ms. Holzhauer.

Substitutes are NEEDED!
A Message from Food Service...
There is a food shortage on products we buy for breakfasts and lunches. Our team of kitchen managers order the food fully expecting to receive it only to find out when it is delivered that they ran out of the product. This causes them to change the menu.
We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding during this tough time.
Working as a TEAM at Avon East!
Snack Donations
