WKCE Meeting

Good Afternoon Parents!

As you know students in grades 3-5 took the WKCE State-wide assessment in October.  The results will be sent home with your child on Friday.  The State has recently changed the way proficiency is identified using national test cut scores.  The scores on this year's report may look significantly different from your child's report from last year, if he/she took the WKCE.  I would like to invite each of you on Thursday to discuss what the results mean for your child and how they relate to our School Report card.  Please pick a time that best fits your schedule.  The meetings will be held this Thursday, February 21st from 8:45AM to 9:30AM, 1:00PM to 1:45PM, and at night from 5:45PM to 6:30PM in the IMC.

Thank you!

Mr. Hill
