Welcome to the first issue of 102 Review for the 2016-2017 school year!
Your job this month is to relax and spend time with loved ones so I’ll keep this brief.
HIGHLIGHTS
The 2016 state test results went public yesterday, and I’m proud to share with you some of our results. No matter how you look at it, our scores increased in both Math and ELA, and the results are reflective of the hard work of you and our families. The table above illustrates the growth our students gained when compared to themselves a year earlier. (e.g. grade 6 students in 2016 this year are compared to grade 5 students in 2015)
We saw double-digits growth in 6 out of 12 categories, with 8th grade ELA leading the pack at a whopping 17.3% gain.
Thank you everyone for your hard work; now go do the exact opposite before we meet again in a few weeks.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Summer planning is available for 3 days this month: August 4th, 9th, and 11th. You must confirm with Ms. Mulé before you come in.
The school will be open to teachers to come in and set up on August 30th and 31st. Some staff members will be relocating to new spaces to accommodate our vision for next year and beyond, and you will be receiving an email from your AP by the end of this week.
