What a busy and wonderful week we had before break! Students were working very hard on the CASE Assessment. This assessment is a standards based assessment that has replaced the skill based assessment, MAP test. This is used to determine student opportunities and help place them in the appropriate courses over time. The hope is we will be sending home results from this assessment with report cards. We will also be sending home reports for all students who are in a reading or math strategies courses. The goal is to communicate with parents/guardians the growth your student is experiencing so that together we can continue to support your student's success.
We were so proud of the students' ability to have fun and work hard during the last week prior to break and the last week of the second semester. Students were doing experiments in MATH class, creating excellent earthenware in ART class and working through challenging reading and writing assignments in ELA courses, all the while in PJ's, dressed us Cousin Eddie, or in Elf costumes. We have fantastic students here at BMS and we are so grateful for the opportunity to serve them!
The second semester brings the opportunity to be even more successful than the first! Students will have one more round of CASE testing in the SPRING and then the "Big Kahuna" test,KPREP. It is right around the corner! Please help us help students by constantly reinforcing the BRUIN WAY- We can't wait to see the great things your students will do!
