2009 Updates!
Thank you to all who participated/donated to our Cookie Dough Fundraiser! We met our goal and are getting a new alarm system put in at Jessie Beck! We also are having soccer goals built for our soccer field which should be completed within 2 weeks! Thank you to Lanny Hershenow, for coordinating, counting money, and being such a special part of Jessie Beck!!
We also have purchased an online product called "Study Island" designed to help your child master the standards specific to his or her grade level! The website is www.studyisland.com and you teacher (grades 4-6 only) has your child's user name and password! Please use this tool anywhere Internet access is available to help your child master the state standards!!
Speaking of the State Standards...Our State Criterion Referenced Tests are quickly approaching (3/2-3/6). It is very important your child be here during that week...The tests are mandated by the State of Nevada for grades 3-6. The CRT's test the standards for your child's grade level; so these tests are used by our school to determine instructional focus. A scale score of 300 is required to "pass" the CRT. If your child scores below a 300 on the CRT, he/she will be given extra interventions next school year to be sure the standards are mastered. Our focus is EARLY INTERVENTION and your child's achievement is our ultimate goal.
Thank you for having your child to school on time, fed a healthy breakfast, and well-rested during CRT week. He/She needs to be at optimal performance level this week to ensure success.
A special "Thank You" to Barry Wardell, a JB Parent and our Soccer Coach this year! Please come support our Jessie Beck Soccer Team on Fridays. I will post a schedule as soon as we receive it! :-)
Your continued support is appreciated and I'm truly thankful for such wonderful parents, students, staff, and community!!!
