Dear families, 

One of the ways we help each student grow and succeed is through a strong system of interventions and support. Our staff are currently working on completing FastBridge assessments with each student. These assessments give us valuable information about your child’s current strengths and areas for growth in both reading and math. With this data, teachers and staff can better understand what each student needs to reach their full potential.

The next step in this process is for our staff to prepare intervention plans. These plans ensure that students who need extra support receive targeted instruction and strategies designed specifically for them. Our goal is to provide the right level of help at the right time so every student can thrive.

One simple but powerful way you can help at home is by practicing the weekly fluency passages your child brings home. Reading these short passages out loud several times during the week builds speed, accuracy, and confidence. Just a few minutes each night can make a big difference in your child’s reading progress.

We know that every child can learn and grow, and these supports help us make sure all students get what they need. Thank you for working with us as we help your child do their very best at school. Fall conferences are a great time to connect with your child’s teacher about any of these assessments or interventions planned for your child.  Note: Fall conferences sign-up times will be communicated to families sometime next week.

Mr. Esterby
