DCAS We just finished the first spring opportunity for DCAS There will be another opportunity beginning in April We ARE aware that testing began very early. This was state and district determined, not school determined.
DCAS In terms of score: If your child did not receive a score illustrating “growth”, the 2nd opportunity provides and additional chance for improvement This year, unlike last, your child’s instructional growth is looked at in order to make the determination about whether the 2nd opportunity is needed These goal scores are given to us by the state.
Community Service We have reached the ½ way mark for the year! At this point, our students should already have worked towards at least a portion of their required hours Children’s Book deadline extended to Monday, March 4th Total Hours due May 31st
