Message from Dr. Watkins: Week of April 7

8th Writing Scores Increases and Surpasses Goal

We are so glad to be able to announce that through the efforts of our 8th grade students and teachers, and your support, that we increased our 8th grade writing assessment score by 14% points from last year. Our goal was 75% overall passing, and it is 77% which exceeds our goal, and therefore, all of our 8th grade students and 8th grade teachers have earned a week of dress down this week. We have developed a school-wide writing initiative and plan to set our goal much higher and expect that our current 7th graders will exceed it as well.
