Report Cards

Your child's Report Card was delivered home on Friday in their backpack.

LPS utilizes a Standards-based Report Card, and therefore

covers grade level expectations per content area.

Most standards at each grade level are meant to be YEAR-LONG learning goals,

therefore you may have seen that your child is Approaching Standard for many

of those learning goals, and that is expected.

As you child learns throughout the year, they will gain mastery of more of those

standards. If you have any questions please contact your child's teacher

and they will be able to discuss your child's progress with you.

iReady Diagnostic Testing

This week is the opening of the second iReady Diagnostic testing window.

All Rosedale students grade Kindergarten through fourth grade

will be taking both a reading and math assessment.

These assessments are computer-based, and are adaptive, which

means the complexity of the question depends on how your child

has answered the question before.

For example, if your child answers a problem correctly, the test will adjust the

next question to that level. If your child misses a problem, the

test will adjust to a more appropriate level for your child, and so on.

The iReady Diagnostic is given three times a year for our 

first-fourth grade students, and twice a year to our kindergartners.

Our staff uses the results of these assessments to plan for instruction,

making sure each child is getting what they need academically.

Testing sessions are available to our classes both this week and next.

Please make sure your child gets rest and is motivated to their best!
