RE: North Fork Elementary School Update
Our teachers have been conducting a deep dive into mid-year data for both reading and math. Teachers celebrated their students’ growth. These check-ins provide every teacher with the opportunity to discuss their students' growth, identify trends, and collaboratively problem-solve any learning roadblocks. I am looking forward to sharing our midyear data with you next month.
Due to inclement weather, our instructional team successfully pivoted to a virtual math training session led by our ReadyMath trainer. During this session, teams analyzed their mid-year math diagnostic data and utilized reports to backward plan their upcoming math units. Additionally, educators collaborated in cross-grade level discussions to identify trends and address gaps in grade-level standards. Teachers adapted and engaged in the virtual training.
Our instructional coach, Malinda Huddleston, has completed all of the highly capable screenings for new and referred students.
This week, our students engaged in planning for their futures across four key areas: Community and Service, Hobbies and Recreation, Education and Career, and Home & Family. Daily activities were designed to support their aspirations, including:
Family & Pizza Bingo Night: Fostering family engagement through a fun-filled evening.
Career Day: Featuring special guests who shared insights about their professions.
Community Service Projects: Students created heartfelt cards for residents of the Woodland Care Center, promoting empathy and community connection.
