In Your Child’s Backpack…
You will find your child’s recent assessment score(s) in his/her backpack. Your child’s winter M.A.P. report shows his/her progress in reading and math compared to the fall. A letter is included that further describes this assessment at each grade level.
Students that were identified as needing additional formal intervention based on winter assessment scores also received a letter indicating the type of intervention that will be provided. L.E.A.P. and Reading Support are both Tier 2 interventions, or interventions that are provided in addition to classroom instruction. Based on children’s assessment data, some students qualify for L.E.A.P., a reading intervention provided two days a week, or Reading Support, given four days a week. Educators continue to review students’ assessment data after each testing period to determine if either support is needed.
The children who received formal intervention since the fall will also receive their data and a letter indicating the need to either continue or discontinue the identified service. If your child did not bring home an additional letter you can assume that he/she did not qualify for additional interventions at this time. I remind you that even if you child does not qualify for L.E.A.P. or Reading Support he/she continues to have access to daily intervention in the classroom.
