New WIN Rotation Begins Tuesday, January 28
Our next What I Need (WIN) rotation begins on Tuesday. If your child is switching WIN teachers you will receive a notification from them.
A reminder that WIN is an extension of our English Language Arts (ELA) that focuses on giving students instruction and skills at their level. We use a variety of assessments, data, and teacher input to determine the group that meets your child’s needs. Groups are changed throughout the school year and are aligned with standards.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or principal.
