Winter vacation has arrived- and the last day of our Winter Activity Program.I encourage children to stay active next week during winter vacation. The experience of the Winter Activity Program has hopefully given kids ideas on how to enjoy winter in Vermont.
Every fall all our students in grades 3-6 are tested using the NECAP statewide test. We have just received the results which will be mailed to parents today. We did recognize those 43 students who performed above grade level today at assembly. In addition we honored those 50 students who documented at least 1 year's growth in math and the 41 who improved a full grade level in reading. We felt it is important to recognize the hard work these students put forth even if they are not in the top level of their class. If you have any questions about your child's results please give us a call.
You may have heard on the news recently about the results of the state assessment (called NECAP) that was given to every child in grades 3-8 throughout the state. That information is crucial for us, as a school, to determine how our programs are currently helping every learner develop new skills and what we need to focus on to improve our students' performance. Individual student scores will be mailed home. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.
With our first “snow day” of the school year on Monday we were able to use our Alert Now system to notify parents that school was closed. If you did not receive a call or a phone message please call the office and we will follow up to make sure you receive a call next time. It is important for us to always have current contact information so please notify us when phone numbers change. As in the past, we will continue to announce school closings on television stations Channel 3 and Channel 31 and radio stations WDEV, WYKR and KIXX.
It looks as if we have returned to winter weather- complete with snow and colder temperatures.Most children did come to school appropriately dressed for the colder temperatures, but there were a few who did not bring warm coats, hats, boots or gloves with them.Please be sure your child leaves home every day dressed for winter in Vermont.Please check out our school website for information on frostbite.
