Winter Benchmark Testing &
Continuous School Improvement Update
Dear Saint Anne Parent,
Welcome back to school! This week, students in grades K-7 participated in winter benchmark testing. These tests provide a snapshot of students' academic growth in reading and math since school began in the fall, and the resulting data gives teachers valuable information about the learning needs of their students. Students in grades K-2 are using FastBridge Learning, while students in grades 3-7 completed winter MAP tests. MAP reports will be sent home electronically in the coming weeks.
The Office of Catholic Schools is asking for feedback from each of its schools in an effort to drive school improvement plans. All faculty, staff, and students in grades 3-8 have been asked to complete a short survey about our school. Teachers have already given their feedback, and student surveys will be completed by
Wednesday of next week.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Kathy Ladd Mrs. Dawn Kapka
Literacy Director/AdvancED Chair Principal
