Message from the Principal 

Happy New Year to all! The DLA Team is looking forward to a prosperous 2023 and are excited to get back to teaching and learning. We really missed our Eagle leaders! This month we plan to maximize every minute to cover all required content before the end of the year.

In December our K-5 students completed the winter i-Ready diagnostic in reading and math. We are very pleased to report that our students have already made an average of 53% growth in reading and 50% growth in math! With focused effort and a growth mindset, we are confident DLA students will continue to grow and hit the 100+% growth goal by the end of the year.

Mark your calendar for 2 nd quarter conferences on Thursday, January 12 and Friday, January 13. At the conference you will receive your child’s report card and review his/her individual i-Ready winter report (K-5) for reading and math and quarterly exam scores (3-8). These reports contain valuable information

showing your child’s growth from the fall, mastery of state standards, and areas for improvement. Teachers will also share what you can do at home to support your child’s academic achievement in the second half of the year..
