YEARBOOKS STEM Lab Request For our upcoming STEAM Day in February, the STEM lab is in need of EMPTY 2 Liter Bottles. If you have any at home, please send them in with your child! Thank you! Tower of Books Challenge New Prospect has started a reading challenge for our first nine weeks of school! This challenge is designed to encourage students to read independently and often! As a child finishes a book, they turn in a summary (or other product as proof of having read the book) to their teacher. Once their teacher is certain they have read the book, the student is given a paper book spine to decorate. These spines are turned in to our new assistant principal Mrs. Wilson, and they are "stacked" to create a tower of books! The house with the highest tower of books will win a prize in early March! Winter iReady Diagnostic Reports i-Ready has added a new feature this year that allows schools to share students’ Diagnostic results digitally by providing access to the For Families report directly on students’ i-Ready dashboard. Families will have digital access to the For Families report after logging in to their student’s i-Ready dashboard and entering our district report code: 1HX9DP on the top right-hand corner of the For Families tab. This code is applicable to all students throughout the district and is offered to families so they can access student results.

Write Score Assessment On Tuesday, 1/23, our grade level will be taking the Write Score’s Text-Based Writing Assessment during our ELA block. This is an online test that measures skills in writing standards as aligned to the state standards and the Part 1 (writing) section of the ELA GA Milestones. The assessment uses grade-appropriate articles, multiple choice questions, a constructed response, and an extended writing task. This assessment is not used for a grade, but is used as targeted data for us as teachers to determine areas of need and to guide our instructional decisions for this semester. It allows us to see a snapshot of how our students perform and areas they are proficient in. This assessment is administered district-wide in 3rd-8th grade.
