Goal Setting Days Change To
Assessment Days
August 21 & August 22 2014
In an attempt to gain more targeted information regarding
your child’s academic strengths and needs, Gold Rush is going to change how our
goal setting days are structured this fall.
All students in grades K-5 will
start a full day of school on Monday, August 11, 2014. Each
child will come to school for one hour only on either August 21 or August 22
to complete reading and math assessments. Having students complete assessments with their
teacher at a later date allows students to adjust to classroom practices and
procedures. The assessments administered
will allow educators to alter their instruction to meet your child’s individual
needs and learning style.
Parents will be able to sign up for a day and time using
the online Conference Scheduler starting mid July. You
will receive a link to the scheduler via email with your express check in
information. Because we value the information we are obtaining on these days it is
imperative that all children complete the assessments on either August 21 or August
22. Students will end their
assessment day by having you accompany them to take their school picture.
August 2014
We continue to
believe that it is essential that students meet their teacher and visit their
classroom prior to the first day of school.
Families are welcome to visit
their classroom on Friday, August 8. Please
see your child’s time below. You may
bring your child’s school supplies at this time.
