What are we doing with Kindergarten -boundaries have not been defined yet. 

Online learning: the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful-more prerecorded discussions or lesson plans possible, save zoom for just social, hard days, good days. APPRECIATE all the teachers do to make this work. 

What will/could next fall look like -not sure. District has about 8 different ideas of the way things could roll out just depending on where we are at with the CDC, the Governor, cases, etc. 

Year-end activities -5th grade is going to have some sort of farewell thing but the school has asked parents and kids (no families) to stay in the car.  As a school and government employees the principal or teachers cannot condone big gatherings or going against the guidelines set by the Governor. 

On the last day, Friday May 29th from 10-11:30 the teachers will be on the sidewalk social distanced apart at the school for families to drive by and wave and pick up a treat from the PTA.

Landtrust budget and goals update: Approximately 80% of students are reaching benchmark in reading and math according to Dibels.  We will continue implementing best practices such as: small group/skills-based instruction, Tier II intervention, robust core instruction, etc. to maintain success. 84% of students are at or above benchmark according to the RI assessment. Our goal is to maintain proficiency and increase the ROI by 1-2 word per week for those not yet reaching benchmark.  73% of students are reaching benchmark according to the Dibels early release math assessment. Our goal is to increase this number by 5%.

TSSA: Our goal is to increase by 4% to 82% proficiency. For those students below benchmark show a rate of improvement (ROI) of 1-2 words per week. Our goal is to maintain and/or increase 2% proficiency on Acadience math assessment by spring benchmark
