Wonderful end to the school year and excited about continuing to move forward.
Donica Johnson - Milestones Update
Have been providing tutoring for families that want it prior to retakes. The schedule this year was shifted and did not allow for extra support and retakes during the year. Reading and Math were the 2 areas for retakes. Retakes will take place June 12-14. (WIA does not set the Milestones schedule or retakes schedule - these are both passed down by APS).
ELA - 57 students from 3, 5, 8th
Math - 37 students from 5th and 8th
These numbers are consistent with 2 years ago.
