Hello Lawton Families-
I hope that everyone had an amazing and well rested break. We are so proud of the growth that our students showed on the iReady Middle of the Year diagnostics!
This past week our 5th grade students participated in the district Quarter 2 PMA (Progress Monitoring Assessment) in Science. They all worked so hard and we are so proud of them.
Coming up towards the end of January, our ELL students will be taking the ACCESS for ELL’s assessment. This assessment allows us to see the progress our ELL students are making in acquiring the English language. Those students that will be participating in this assessment will receive more information in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued support. As always, you can contact me any time with any questions or concerns, alison.roscoe@ocps.net. |

Look at who was caught being responsible before winter break: Gladys, Cenah, Aydan, Fabian, Alana and Laila from Mrs. Vazquez’s class! January’s character trait is RESPECT - we cannot wait to see the many ways our students will show this trait this month!
* If you look closely below, each of these six students is holding up a recognition slip which cites how they exhibited the positive trait of "RESPONSILIBILTY".

Ms. Stacy Perez, Kindergarten Teacher
What is your Educational background?
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Central Florida. This is my 12th year teaching in OCPS. My teaching career began at Cypress Park Elementary in 2010, where I started working with Kindergarten students. In 2011, I joined the Lawton Chiles School family and have spent most of my time teaching Kindergarten. I truly love working with students to help them discover the wonders of learning, becoming independent lifelong learners.
How/ when did you discover your passion for teaching?
I developed a passion for teaching when I was in 3rd grade. Before school, I volunteered to help with my Kindergarten teacher Ms. Harris and 1st Grade teacher Ms. Valdez grade papers and pass out the morning work before heading to my class. My 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Addison could not speak Spanish and would have me go help the ESOL students in their work after I completed my work. I learned that I loved helping others learn and be successful in the classroom.
What has been your most memorable moment in the classroom?
My most memorable moments in the classroom are when students express to me how much they love what they are doing and you can see how excited they are to see themselves reach their goals. Also, getting letters from parents telling me the impact they saw me make in their child’s learning.
Anything else that you would like people to know about you (hobbies /interests)?
When I’m not teaching, you will find me going to Disney or Universal Studios with my 7 year old daughter and my husband. I love to read and find it relaxing and enjoyable. I love spending time with family and friends, going to the zoo, museums and the beach.

Each Orange County public school invites parents to get involved. One of the ways parents can get involved is through the School Advisory Council (SAC). This council is a group that brings representatives of stakeholders together to assist the school principal with developing and evaluating a school improvement plan. Each SAC is composed of the principal and representatives of teachers, education support employees, parents, community members and students.
We invite you to our next meeting that will take place next Tuesday, January 11 at 5pm in the LCE media center.
Thank you for your support!

Middle-of-the-year i-Ready math diagnostic results showed phenomenal progress for our Lawton Chiles’ students! Like i-Ready reading, more students are at or working towards reaching grade level expectations compared to the beginning-of-the-year i-Ready diagnostic assessment. We are thrilled with our students' dedication and growth! Below is Lawton Chiles’ i-Ready math data.
i-Ready math:
|
|
|
|
Based on schoolwide i-Ready middle-of-the-year math data, 42% of students are Tier 1 (on, mid or above grade level). This compares to the beginning-of-the-year data where 14% of students were Tier 1. That’s a 28% increase! Fifty-five percent of students are Tier 2 (1-2 grade level below). That is a 7% decrease from the beginning-of-the-year data in which students were at 62%. Four percent of students are Tier 3 (3 or more grade level below). At the beginning of the year, 24% of students at Lawton Chiles were identified as Tier 3 (3 or more grade levels below)!
Our students are achieving great successes in math and we look forward to continued gains!
