5. Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA)
The KRA Data:
Benefits Children- identifies the strengths and challenges of individual children and informs instruction.
Assists Teachers- gives teachers rich information about each assessed child’s skills, abilities, and learning needs. It enables teachers to differentiate instruction, provide supports, and address identified learning gaps at the individual child and classroom level.
Informs Families- families can learn about their child’s strengths and needs in the new Kindergarten Readiness Individual Student Report (ISR).

6. Field Trips
Space is limited but we appreciate your willingness to chaperone!
If a parent/guardian would like to chaperone, they must check the chaperone box on their child’s permission form, provide contact information, and return the form to the child’s teacher.
Permission forms may be turned in before payment.

7. Field Trips
Chaperones will be selected based on the order in which the forms are received. Parents/guardians who have not attended a previous field trip will take priority.
Parents/guardians who are not selected will be placed on a waiting
list. If you volunteer to chaperone,
you will be notified whether you are
selected or not.

9. Daily Five
Children become better readers and develop a love for reading by having time to actually read and write.
A way of organizing language arts instruction so that every student is engaged in meaningful literacy tasks.
Students receive explicit whole group instruction and then are given independent practice time to read and write independently while the teacher provides focused instruction to individuals and small groups.
