NWEA

El pasado otoño, los estudiantes de Ann Arbor tomaron las pruebas llamadas Evaluación Educativa del Noroeste (Northwest Educational Assessment, NWEA). Los estudiantes tomaran las pruebas nuevamente en enero y una vez más a fines del año escolar. Los resultados de estas pruebas son utilizados por los maestros para entender el progreso académico de sus estudiantes y para saber en qué áreas lo estudiantes necesitan más práctica.

En caso de que no supieran, NWEA tiene también “Herramientas para los Padres (Parent Toolkit)” en las cuales se explica el proceso de evaluación, y provee lugares en el internet para que los niños puedan practicar. Las herramientas para los padres pueden ser encontrados en la siguiente dirección del internet. http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/ins.technology/nwea


Si desea obtener una copia impresa de las herramientas para los padres, por favor llame a la oficina de la escuela y le enviaremos una copia a su hogar.

FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 2012!

Estamos todos de regreso a Mitchell y listos para el Nuevo Año. Estamos muy agradecidos por el constante apoyo de nuestras familias para continuar haciendo de Mitchell, la mejor escuela que puede ser.

Por favor, comuníquese por teléfono, correo electrónico o pase por la escuela si tienen alguna pregunta.

NWEA
In the fall of this school year, students in Ann Arbor took a test call the Northwest Educational Assessment (NWEA).  They will take the test again in January and once more at the end of the school year.  The results of the test are used by teachers to understand the growth a student has made as well as areas the student needs additional practice.

In case you didn’t know, NWEA also has a “Parent Toolkit” that explains the assessment as well as provides websites for children to use for additional practice.  The toolkit can be found at the following link: http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/ins.technology/nwea
If you would like a printed copy of the toolkit, please call the school office and we’ll send a copy home.

Happy New Year!
We are all back to Mitchell and are ready for 2012.  We appreciate the support of our families as we continue to work on making Mitchell School the best it can be.
