DEPSA - ECE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

Monday, December 12, 2022 | Volume XVI. Main Office Contact 313-877-9380

Welcome Parents & Scholars:

It's a brand new week. We are excited about the upcoming break and want to finish strong. Currently 60% of ECE Families have accepted their invitations for DeansList. DeansList is a new software tool that we use to analyze our attendance and behavior data, and most importantly to improve communication with our parents.iIt also allows families to communicate directly with the teachers, principal and other staff members as well. It works like a text message system. Please take a moment to accept your invitation so you are not missing out on vital updates and communication.

ECE students work weekly on Exact Path Intervention 9th -11th grade. Exact Path is designed to provide instructional reinforcement, supporting accelerated students who are ahead of grade level but, at the same time, to offer remediation for those who may have struggled to grasp content the first time or who just need a refresher. Each lesson provides a short tutorial, and is self-guided, allowing students to progress at their own pace. The goal is to have 100% of student master 2 skills per week while spending an average of 45 minutes per week on math and reading..

Happy Birthday
