Here, Everyday, Ready to learn, On time
This week, in honor of World Kindness Day, Windsor Farm students and staff have set a goal to show 1,000 Acts of Kindness! Small activities have been planned to highlight the kind people and good deeds happening in our school community and showcase the common thread of kindness which binds us together.
All 2nd Grade students and those 5th Grade students who were not previously identified as Gifted or Advanced will be participating in CogAT Testing this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This 'Cognitive Abilities Test' measures a student's aptitude or potential for learning and provides teachers with insight into a student's readiness to demonstrate higher-level thinking skills in Reading and/or Math. This data will guide students' course assignments in future grade levels.
A Parent's Guide to DIBELS
Parent Information Night
Tuesday, Nov. 12th - 6:30pm
Students in Grades K-3 were recently screened using the Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) screener; a tool that accompanies our CKLA Literacy Curriculum to identify readers who may be "at risk" for possible reading difficulties. Families recently received their child's score report but may have some questions about reading the report or would like additional information about their child's results and the impact it may have on their child's education.
Kindergarten - 3rd Grade families are invited to join our Parent Information Night this Tuesday at 6:30pm to learn more about DIBELS and the associated instructional programs. Please join us in-person or on-line using the meeting link below.
Happy Veterans Day
