Konnoak Updates and Announcements for May 24th

Today is day 167(Day 7 of Specials )

EOG Preliminary Results:

Our EOG Results were not as good as I hoped. 

As you can see, we have MAJOR work in reading. Our overall proficiency for reading was 34.5%.

3rd was 31.3%
4th was 32.6%
5th was 39.8%

For math our overall proficiency for math was: 
3rd was 64.3%

4th was 71.6%
5th was 64.9%

What concerns me is the overall proficiency which is 49.5%, which puts us as a low-performing school.  It is very important that we have a detailed remediation plan.  Ms. Autry, Ms. Johnson, and I will be working on a remediation plan with the grade levels today.  We will need to remediate 188 students in reading, 101 in math and 68 in science.  Many of you will be asked to participate in our remediation.  AYP and ABC results will not be known until late June.

I would like to thank Myra for her flexibility this year as we have used her media center for classes, speech, reading groups, ESL, and many, many meetings.  THANK YOU....I know it has been a crazy year for her to try to teach classes with all the stuff going on in the media center!
