Good Afternoon Patton Community, This has been another great week at Patton. For those who might be wondering what happens in school on an institute day or school improvement day, I thought I might share a snapshot of what happened today. Over the past several weeks, each of your children have taken a variety of assessments depending on their grade level. Examples of these assessments are MAP (Measure of Academic Progress), AIMSweb, and Fountas and Pinnell benchmark assessments. With all of that data, we organize and sort it to determine how we can best meet the learning needs of our students. Grade levels spend considerable time pouring over this data to develop interventions and supports for students who might need a "boost" because they haven't met the academic targets at this point. Additionally, if we have students who are significantly exceeding standards (99%ile range) we can identify strategies to support them too. In addition to that, teachers at Patton also received training in the area of technology. Depending on the grade level teachers will have received training on some of the following areas: Google Classrooms, creations apps for iPads, how to use AirServer, student blogging tools, digital assessment tools, etc. In addition to that, grade level teams are also given time to collaborate and co-plan on their upcoming units of student. Truly, the work, time, and effort that goes into this day is significant and time well spent. Listed below are the PTA weekend updates as well. If you like pizza, and there is a great fundraiser for California Pizza Kitchen for October 13 and 14. You need to bring the flyer that was sent home, but if you don't have it, you can click HERE for it. Have a wonderful weekend, and we will see everyone on TUESDAY. Sincerely, Eric Larson Principal, Patton Elementary School Tweets Of The Week
