Fluency Norms

I'll be posting student scores in the lounge today.  Below is the levels you may need when you share data with parents at conference.  If a student was not assessed it was because they were at or above grade level in the fall or last spring.  Please have your own classroom data or information to share with parents of these students during conference time.

Registration is August 7th!

Red Oak Students to Register Thursday, August 7
School Begins August 19

The Red Oak Community School District will register all students in grades pre-kindergarten through grade 12 on Thursday, August 7. All grade levels will register at the Inman Primary School Cafeteria. Hours of registration will be 8 am to 8 pm. School office staff, school counselors, and selected school teachers will be available to register everyone, help parents/students complete forms; answer questions about bus transportation needs; and collect fees. School Administrators will visit the Registration Day site at Inman and will be available to address any concerns from parents or guardians or students. All school offices will be open for students and parents who need to make a visit to one of the schools (other than Inman Primary) on Registration Day.

Special School Early Dismissals for the 2008 – 09 School Year

The Red Oak Community Schools will observe a major change in the school calendar for the new year. Starting August 27th, classes will be dismissed two hours early every Wednesday. The two hour early dismissal will allow the district’s teachers to participate in professional development activities that will improve the teaching/learning process for all students. The Red Oak Community School District has adopted a system of improving students’ learning through Professional Learning Communities. After studying ways to improve district schools for the past year, it was determined that quality teams of teachers working together to increase student learning would have a significant, positive effect for students. Teachers collaborating together to improve learning; teachers learning new strategies for the teaching process; and teachers developing new curriculum programs; - all would require more time than the once per month early dismissals experienced in the past. In order to accomplish the professional development work, the Red Oak Board of Directors accepted the staff’s recommendation to dismiss early every Wednesday of the school year. The only Wednesdays that will not see an early dismissal include those weeks where other vacation days are in effect or during parent-teacher conference weeks. Parents and guardians are encouraged to closely look at the new school calendar in order to plan adequately for child care and supervision.

School Registration Fees Remain the Same – Lunch Prices Increase

The Red Oak Board of Directors have authorized registration fees to remain the same for one more year in spite of huge increases seen this past year in books and instructional support materials. The prices of lunches will increase by 10 cents. This is the first price increase in over five years. The Directors have requested that food prices be monitored and watched carefully during the school year in case other changes are needed.

Registration fees for the 2008 – 09 school year are as follows:
Grades Kindergarten to 5 $25
Grades 6 to 8 $30
Grades 9 to 12 $36

School Meal Prices for the 2008 – 09 school year are as follows:
Breakfast:
