2016-17 eValuate Scores
These current eValuate scores imply that between 28 & 31% of our student will score advanced or proficient on their MATH and 51% of our ELA student will reach the advanced or proficient levels.
Study the current charts above. Compare and contrast those with the charts below and make a few notes on any differences.
2015-16 eValuate Scores
This time last year, we looked at 11% as our estimated proficiency in Math and a 26% students scoring proficient or advanced in ELA.
The biggest change I see, which should show up on the MAP test is the smaller Red and additional Yellow and Green portions, especially in ELA. Without the realigned scores from eValuate, we have more students in the higher categories. WELL DONE, Team.
eValuate scores were adjusted to align with the latest MAP results.
Just a few points, but every bit counts.

Coach & Coach
Tough to get ahead of these two!
After calling for a “Dress like a PE Coach” they schooled us all looking like Dapper Dan in khakis and polos! Well done, Gentlemen.
Photobomb? Really? Yup.
This is the middle school and this place rocks. Looking over their scores during our Binder Meetings gave testimony of the relationships you all have built, the extra work you have put in and the ability to ride the wave of understanding trying to maximize their learning by managing just how much struggle to allow. Nice work.
Have a great Friday.
We will bump our Snack day to next Tuesday.
There will be a few gone or out of pocket Friday. Davis, Ross, Farhat, Mix and McCracken but subs will be enrolled but we will have a great crew of selected students with us. See the list from Tuesday's 2:30 meeting for details.
Hang in there. March is right around the corner.
