Pokemon Cards

Pokemon cards have been increasingly been an issue in the classroom causing some disruptions as well as some conflict.  I am asking that all students keep their Pokemon cards at home for the rest of the school year to prevent any further issues in the building.  Thank you for your help in this matter

Arno Data

As part of our ongoing commitment to the analysis of student data for continuous improvment, I wanted to share this with our community.  This data report is for Winter 2018, after our latest round of assessments that include DIBELS (Reading), DRA (Reading) and NWEA (Reading and Math).  We are especially proud of our numbers as we have seen significant growth since fall, and we are on track to meet our targets.  The data is broken down by Tiers-

Tier 1- The Core- this is where we want at least 80% of our kids to be at or above grade level by the end of the year

Tier 2- This group should lower down to 15% of the building by year’s end.  This group maybe slightly below level, and receives additional instruction

Tier 3- This group should be down to 5% or lower by year’s end.  This group can be 1 or more years behind academically, and requires more intense intervention.

The key data markers by winter- we would like to see Tier 3 shrinking, and Tier 1 growing.  If you have any questions on the data, please contact me at 313-827-1050

Title 1 Blog

We would to inform you of our new Title I blog brought to you by Mrs. Gorski, our Title I teacher.  Title I is a federal program that gives dollars to school with higher populations at-risk students.  We are a School-wide school for service, which means our whole population qualifies to benefit from services, parent meetings, resources, etc.

From the Red Cross…

Thank you for continuing your partnership with the Red Cross.  During the drive we saw 21 donors and collected 19 products on a goal of 20.  Excellent numbers especially given the very cold weather and the cold and flu season being in full swing!  And the most important note of all is this drive will touch the lives of 57 patients!

Again, I thank you for all of your hard work.  Please pass along our thanks to everyone that was involved!

Best regards,

Beth Harris

Breakfast/Lunch Program

Here at APPS, we take our meal service seriously by providing the best quality food that lines up with federal nutritional guidelines.  If you have never given our breakfast or lunch program a try, it’s always a good time to start.  Breakfast starts around 8:10 in the morning (You can drop off early and get the kids in a warm place) and of course we have our hot lunch and salad bar available every lunch time.  Please see the flyer for more information- did I mention that every Friday a.m. breakfast time also includes some fun dancing?
