Trimester 3 PYD report: staff cite broad growth and a drop in chronic absenteeism to about 10%
Summary
District staff reported trimester 3 Acadience and I-Ready data showing growth across grades, cited kindergarten ending the year with ~83% at or above grade level, highlighted math gains in 1st and 5th grades, and noted chronic absenteeism fell to about 10%.
Tyler presented the PYD trimester 3 academic and behavioral data, saying the universal screeners and diagnostics showed strong growth across nearly every grade level. On reading he said, "it's awesome to see that our kindergarteners ended the school year with 83 percent of them at or above grade level." He also noted that students with disabilities improved from roughly 8% proficiency in the fall to about 14% at year-end.
On math, Tyler highlighted a 5th-grade improvement from 22% to 49% proficiency and a 1st-grade I-Ready gain from about 7% to 46% by year-end. He described disciplinary referrals rising in trimester 3 as a normal end-of-year pattern but emphasized that most students met behavioral expectations and that many referrals reflected single incidents rather than repeat offenses. Tyler called the chronic-absenteeism result "huge," reporting the rate ended the year at about 10%, the lowest observed in recent years, and credited attendance letters and family support meetings for the improvement.
