District highlights IREAD gains, outlines ILEARN schedule and recognizes students and staff
Summary
Administrators reported preliminary ILEARN testing dates and IREAD results (59% of second graders passed first attempt; 92.3% first-attempt pass rate for third graders including prior passers), recognized students and staff for recent awards, and noted upcoming concerts and prom.
Administrators at the April 14 MSD Boone Township school board meeting reported testing schedules and recent academic recognitions and thanked staff for recent achievements.
Administrator Peggy reviewed testing schedules and preliminary results. She said 59% of the district's second graders passed IREAD on their first attempt; 11 students who did not pass will receive a second attempt in May and 18 were identified to participate in summer school programming for additional support. "In third grade, currently, including students who passed last year, 51 of our 55 third graders have passed on the first attempt. That's 92.3%," Peggy said, noting that the results align with last year's numbers.
Peggy and Dr. Brooks highlighted recognitions: 13 students and two teachers were recognized for 'Hawks Pride,' three paraprofessionals (Mrs. Melcher, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Danstrop) were acknowledged on paraprofessional appreciation day, and Mrs. Kiner was recognized for librarian appreciation. Peggy also noted recent events, including a middle school play with 46 student participants and an honor-roll ice cream event attended by 106 students.
Dr. Brooks pointed to a photo from the district's recent groundbreaking day made by Mrs. Witt's class and said administrators plan to display it in the new building. He also remarked on a viral classroom photo donated by Mrs. Gladstone, which drew online attention.
Administrators said ILEARN testing is scheduled to begin the week following the meeting, with testing lasting approximately two weeks followed by makeups. The meeting concluded with board members expressing condolences over the recent death of graduate and former employee Matt Stone.
