1.

SLO - Looked at the District/Literacy SLO

Keep looking at ways to reach students who are not improving to grade level in their
Reading. Currently have special TIE groups with Danielle Brinegar and Amanda Rocus to
improve their lexile scores to at or above grade level for their grade. ELA department will be
brainstorming ways to utilize TIE time to support students not reading at grade level.

2. Testing Testing Committee met to see how possible schedules would look. It is possible to

test an entire grade at one time. We will test for 5 days straight. Each grade will have
UA/RA every day. We will need to change the schedule for the eighth grade on their week so
they will be able to have UA/RA. Teams are asked to talk to their members and see how they
would like to do testing groups. It would still be possible to do different groups for Math and
Reading. It would also be a possibility to keep the same students all week.
