Welcome to 09-10!

Welcome back to a new school year! Most of you have had an opportunity to review CST data, and there is much to celebrate. Despite a challenging year which involved learning a brand-new mathematics curriculum (which for many of us meant rethinking the way we teach math) we posted significant gains district wide. Estimated results show that overall, the percent of proficient students increased at every grade level from 2008 to 2009. :
Grade 2 - 53% to 59%
Grade 3 - 56% to 57%
Grade 4 - 62% to 66%
Grade 5 - 51% to 60%
Grade 6 - 45% to 53%

Official results will be released in mid-September.

There is still much to be done, as we strive to meet NCLB goals for ALL of our student subgroups, but I feel confident that we can do it if we stay positive, collaborate, and continue to fully implement enVision. Keep up the great work.
