Students and staff successfully participated in our first Fire Drill of the school year which was attend by the Buffalo Grove Fire Department. Everyone did a wonderful job of exiting the building quietly and quickly. When the fire department attends our drills, they typically pull a student or staff member to make sure we are "on our toes." Our "missing" student was noted right away and made an honorary fireman for the day.

Curriculum Based Measure (CBM) & MAZE
Students in grades one through five were administered an assessment call a Curriculum Based Measure (CBM). CBMs measure reading rate and how accurately a child can read short grade level passages. Students in grades two through five were also be given an assessment called the MAZE this week, which analyzes a child’s reading comprehension. Both of these assessments, in addition to the Measures of Academic Performance assessment (MAP) and classroom measures, will be used to tailor instruction for your child. Your child’s teacher will be happy to share these results with you during parent teacher conferences.
ISAT and MAP results
Students' spring 2012 ISAT (Grades 4-5) and fall 2012 MAP results will be mailed home on Thursday, October 4th. Please be on the lookout for these envelopes.
