DIBELS

Mrs. Ornelis — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 15:53:47 GMT

All kindergarten through third grade students were assessed using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) in August. DIBELS measures fluency of various reading skills. Contact your child's teacher to discuss your child's progress and get ideas on how to help your son or daughter with their reading fluency at home. Students will be assessed again in May.

Teachers and students in kindergarten, first and second grade are using The Daily Five-literacy tasks in their classrooms. Daily the students complete the tasks of : reading to themselves, reading with someone, writing, word work and listening to reading. Ask your child's teacher what a difference the routines have made in their classroom.

All Individual Education Plans have been converted to an online computer service called IEP PRO. The program has been updated so you may see sight changes in the format of the IEP paperwork.

Las Brisas has a General Education Intervention Team-GEIT, to help teachers determine interventions for students with academic and behavioral needs. This team also conducts the pre-referral process to screen students for possible 504 or special education evaluation.

Stop by the school office for a booklet that has a checklist for your child's growth from birth to five. Every Step Counts !

We have highly qualified teachers ready to service your child's needs.

The Arizona Department of Education is asking for parental feedback in order to evaluate the success of education programs in our district. The survey was developed by the National Center for Special Education Accountability Monitoring (NCSEAM). Your child's service coordinator has distributed a Arizona Parent Satisfaction Survey. If you did not receive a survey please contact my office and we will make sure you have the opportunity to take this confidential survey.

The Parent Information Network (PIN) is pleased to announce the new
