spelling words for the week and announcements for the week.
 * Each Monday a care folder is sent home to the parents. The Care folder lists the following items:

Example: 3rd grade is going on a field trip. Field trip date and how much it cost were listed in folder. A note stating that if a student could not pay scholarship money is available and scholarship form was attached.

What I seen in the classroom regarding assessment and record keeping: An example of use: a student's shoe broke and the teacher called the parent immediately.
 * Each classroom has a phone. The teacher contacts the parent when needed


 * Attendance is taken on the computer each day using an excel program and emailed to front office.


 * The school has a record room that stays locked. The school has a record of every student.


 * The teacher I observed had a record book of each student listing their needs, parent information, and testing information.


 * Students were assessed at the beginning of the year using Dibels. Dibels is a reading program. It's a test that measures reading skills.


 * I observed the literacy master reading teacher Mrs. Parr at Long Branch. Mrs. Parr is the system wide master reading teacher. She supports, trains, and assists the teachers. At the beginning of the year, she tests students using Dibels. Dibels tests for reading and math and is ran by the University of Oregon’s Education Department. This test shows what level of reading student are on and the skills that need improving. When a test result are in she meets with teachers as a grade level and lets them know what level of reading that grade in on as a whole. Mrs. Parr works with the teachers to set up strategies for students who are below reading level. She focuses on sight words first, short sentences, and AR books.

I observed an IEP Meeting/ Sped meeting The following for required to be in the IEP meeting: special education teacher, classroom teacher, and LEA (local education assistant) The child scored 1.2-1.3 in reading, 1.8 spelling, and 13 wspm on Dibles. In 1st grade, the student didn’t meet anything on the CRCT. He scored 92 on hearing test. The child can talk good. Auditory memory not good and doesn’t use expressions. Short term memory not good, but visual learning good. They recommended student should have a reader for CRCT-M and his textbooks should be on tape so he could hear and read. The child can hear the words. They recommended CRCT-M for the student. CRCT-M is a modified, short, not 4 questions but 3, and more white space on pages. They used the same IEP from last year but added CRCT-M to it.
 * The LEA talks about budget, what they can help student with
 * The school is required to contact the parents two times
 * The parents don’t have to be at meeting.
