Success Night--SARAH
  • Last year was June 9 in the evening with  acknowledgements for AR, student class Citizenship awards, perfect attendance
  • When? TBD by K-3 reps next Tuesday
  • What grades?  Remain K-3
  • Specifics?   Eliminate Citizenship award; any awards given should be in the classroom; concerns shares about AR awards due to variations in grade level and individual student goals; keep the entire event in the classrooms
  • Suggestion for NEXT Year: K-3 Art & Success; 4-6 Art & Success


A.R Points--ARTURO
  • Points for books we don't have tests for (YES or NO?)
  • Philosophy--AR is intended as a supplemental piece of our literacy work at school (not scored on the report card) but used for part of goal setting score; not every book needs to be an AR book but books are for multiple purposes--enjoyment, real life application; good fit books, books from clubs and organizations
