Our literacy awareness campaign, Read to Succeed, is in full swing and the progress looks promising! Here are some highlights. Kindergarten At the beginning of the year we had 22% of our Madras Primary kindergarten students reading at benchmark (grade level). In January we increased that to 67%! “All of our teachers and education assistants are working hard and we are really seeing improvements,” said Kathy Bishop, principal, Madras Primary School. “When you walk into the classrooms the students are engaged and excited to be reading. They can’t wait to pick a book!” added Bishop. Middle School O ur greatest middle school test score improvements to date are showing up among our 6th grade Hispanic students and 6th and 8th grade Special Education students. “What we’re seeing most of all is a huge jump in student engagement at the elementary and middle school levels,” said Melinda Boyle, director of curriculum and instruction. “Students are talking, sharing, and participating more in their own learning than ever before. Their test scores will improve because of this,” added Boyle. High School Madras High School students are also showing impressive test score improvements in both reading and math. The biggest jumps are in the freshman class, but students at all grade levels are benefiting from the special workshops now in place to' bump up scores and help them graduate. “Some of these kids have been in the workshops for less than two months and they are already moving out because they are testing so well,” said Nick Kezele, instructional coach. “The teachers are doing an incredible job in helping each student on an individual basis,” added Kezele. size 3-9 month clothes.
