Report Cards

 


In preparation of P-T Conferences, please make sure to print report cards and send them home Wednesday, March 9. Sending home report cards prior to conferences allows families an opportunity to process their emotions before meeting with you. This will help the conversation be informed and targeted.

New Staff

 


I am happy to announce that Glen has stepped into his new role as our Educational Technology Coordinator and has already improved technology around our school. If you have any Chromebook issues, please make sure to reach out to him.

In addition, Laura Dean, our former Kinder para has decided to return to Keystone as a sub starting March 6.

I am excited to have our technology working and an additional sub in our building!

Need Some Chocolate?

 


The candy jar is back. Please feel free to come to my office (even when I am not in there) and grab some candy whenever you need a pick me up.

Bubble Standards

 We have just five weeks left before Spring Break and state testing. While you have worked tirelessly all year to help our students master standards in math, ELA, science, and social studies, now is the time to make that final push to increase our number of proficient students. Our goal as educators is to have as many proficient (grade level) students as possible to set them up for success in future grades and in life. We can increase the number of proficient students by moving our bubble students.

NHA has provided a document that identifies “bubble” standards based on Interim 2 results. These are standards where majority of our students scored 2.0-2.5 (see example below). 

We ask that our K-2 teachers use Math Numeracy and aimsWeb to identify bubble students and standards to increase the number of proficient students.

All deans will be providing teachers with the information soon regarding specific standards that we would like you to address with your students for the remainder of the school year. You will discuss this as a grade level team to develop a plan for addressing those standards needing re-teaching and additional practice. You can provide your students an opportunity to explore the bubble standards through Do Nows, workshop groups, Exit Tickets, independent practice, whole group instruction, etc.
