The Countdown Continues

Our countdown to when our students show what they know on the state standardized testing continues! We have:
  • 1 week left in February
  • 3.5 weeks in March
  • 5 weeks in April
Until the FAST PM3 testing window opens on May 1st. Our teachers and teams continue our intentional responses to student needs and working toward closing the gaps in student learning. We are committed to the success of our Bear Cubs. Please continue to support these efforts by having students practice needed benchmark at home on Progress Learning. Also, please enforce your child's daily attendance. With your help, we will meet our goals!

Academic Corner: District Learning Walks

Several times a year our school district curriculum leaders come to the school to discuss school priorities, needs, and plans for student achievement. A major part of the learning walk process is to walk through classrooms to see our teachers and students in action. Several elements are noted when we go through the rooms, including (but not limited to):
  • Instruction aligned to the grade level benchmarks
  • Student tasks aligned to grade level benchmarks
  • AVID structures and strategies in use
  • High levels of student engagement and student collaboration
  • Teachers and students monitoring and tracking progress throughout the lessons
We are proud to say that there were amazing things happening throughout the classes that were walked. Amazing teaching and learning continue to happen at Narcoossee Elementary! See some pictures of the learning walk below.
