The Week of September 22nd

The Weekly Newsletter


Universal Screener Packet

Beginning of the Year Universal Reading Screener Reports went home on Friday. The report contains your child's scores on individual "reading screenings" (Universal Screeners) and states actions to support your child if they fall in a particular range of scores. We are analyzing these screenings along with other classroom assessments to determine your child's needs. If your child qualified for Tier 2 RTI, as indicated on the report, you will have an additional notification attached.

ElP (Early Intervention Program) is a program for students in grades K-5th where students receive interventions in reading and/or math. If your child received a letter indicating that he/she qualifies for EIP services, he/she will receive evidence-based interventions in the classroom using iReady or with a teacher in small groups.


Family Observations

Our goal is to provide a loving, respectful, and supportive environment in which children will blossom. Family understanding of Montessori philosophy plays an important role in supporting our educational approach. We would like to invite families to sit in and observe our class during the morning work cycle. Classroom observations will begin soon. Please use this link to schedule your observation of our community. We look forward to seeing you soon! 


Oatland Island Wild Life Center Field Trip

We should arrive at Oatland Island at about 10am Monday. Bug spray and sunscreen should be applied at home. Students should wear closed-toe, walking shoes with socks. Students can wear hats. They should bring a water bottle. They should not bring anything that needs to be microwaved. We will have a picnic lunch on the property after the field trip.

Below is a list of items that can be donated by our community to Oatland. You can send in smaller items with your child if your family would like to donate. Please deliver any large items directly to Oatland Island Wildlife Center at your convenience.
