Daily Bulletin May 7, 2018
Parents' Corner:
In response to recent concerns regarding school safety, there will be a South County School Safety Forum on Monday, May 7th from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. at the Bear River High School theater.
We will have representation from:
· Nevada County Sheriff’s Office
· California Highway Patrol
· Higgins Fire Department
· Nevada County Office of Emergency Services
· Nevada County Superintendent of Schools Office
· South County School Administrators
All parents and community members are invited to attend. You will learn about what plans and procedures are in place to ensure the safety of our students, and what you can/should do in the case of a school emergency.
State Testing: California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), will begin this week. Sixth graders begin testing Wednesday, May 2nd, 7th graders begin Wednesday, May 9th, and 8th graders begin Wednesday, May 16th.
Whether you agree or disagree with standardized test, the political reality is that the quality of a Magnolia education is judged by these tests. Data from these assessments are used by the school to identify deficiencies Magnolia may have in our curriculum and/or instruction; thus guiding our future professional development for teachers and curriculum choices. These test measure both your student's academic growth and their progress toward achieving grade level standards. CAASPP results combined with other data are used to develop strategies to target interventions in academic areas that a student has not demonstrated proficiency.
Please encourage your student to put forth their best effort! We need an accurate measure of your child's skills and knowledge to evaluate Magnolia's effort to provide a quality education to the students of our community.
Parents: Please be prepared to show a picture ID when checking your student out during the school day.
Wednesday - 3:30pm - 4:15pm in room B-10
Thursday - 8:00 am - 8:45 in room A-4 most weeks. Please check the bulletin and Magnolia calendar.
