LS NEWS: October 31

Dear Parents,

Today has been one of great excitement as everyone embraced Halloween. The day began with the Halloween parade that delighted the entire school. The costumes were epic, and the crowd showed their appreciation as the students paraded around the courtyard and the Middle and Upper Schools.

Recently, students in grades three, four and five took the NWEA MAP Growth test. This adaptive assessment provides teachers with detailed insights, enabling them to identify key learning areas for their class and track individual student progress. With this information, teachers collaborate with students to set personalized learning goals. Additionally, MAP data is utilized by teachers to build small groups for instructions. While the MAP assessment is just one of many tools teachers use to gauge student development, it is a valuable resource for guiding instruction and supporting each student's academic journey.

Wishing everyone a safe Halloween.

Kindest regards,

Louise Dunn

Head of Lower School
