Math Quarter #3Assessments

The third quarter math assessments will be given April 17^th through April 20^th .  This assessment helps our teachers guide their instruction by identifying the areas were each child is having difficulty.  If you would like to know your child’s individual score, please see your teacher.

DIBELS Testing

Kindergarten through Third Grade will participate in DIBELS testing February 21^st through March 2^nd.  DIBELS has three primary uses:

• It is a screening instrument that determines whether all the major skills are in place for a student to read on grade level by the end of third grade.
• It offers progress monitoring assessments that measure whether intervention instruction is effective.
• It is used as an outcome assessment that measures the effectiveness of the school’s reading instructional program.

If you have any questions, or would like to know about your child’s individual score, please see your teacher.

After School Intervention Classes

This month we begin our After School Intervention Classes on Wed. and Thursday from 2:30-3:30 pm.  These classes are designed to support students who are not making adequate progress towards grade level standards.  If you have any questions please call the office and speak with Mr. Osmin Ramos, Coordinator

Illness at School

It is often difficult for parents to know whether their children are too sick to attend school.  Please keep your child at home if he/she has any of these symptoms:  vomiting, diarrhea, fever of 100 degrees F or above, constant cough, sneezing, or the flu.  Students can return to school after being free of their symptoms for 24 hours.  Rashes of an unknown origin require a doctor's note indicating the diagnosis and releasing your child to return to school.  Students who have contracted conjunctivitis (pink eye) and strep throat may return to school after 24 hours of doctor-prescribed medications.  Please call the office at (323) 582-3727 whenever your child is out ill.  Also, please send a written note with your child's name, teacher, date of absence and why the student was out upon your child's return.  Thank you for following these guidelines.
