Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had a restful, enjoyable summer vacation. Here is a quick update on LEAP news:
-our classroom is now located in the former Computer Lab (a huge THANK YOU to the McFarland Family, the Kruger Family, Mr. Vansant, and my husband Jim for all their help with moving, cleaning, and painting. It was a big job, but we are finally finished)
-all summer I continued my education and have almost completed my GATE Certification, just one more course to go :)
-for the next couple of weeks I will be assessing all students in grades 3-6 as potential LEAP students. We use the following screening tools: STAR, IOWA and Cogat scores, beginning-year assessment, report card grades, teacher recommendation, and a behavior characteristics scale. Once completed, I will inform parents of their child's LEAP placement. Thank you for your patience during this process.
