LC Students Excel on 3rd Grade
Reading Assessment
As
we
approach
the
close
of
another
school
year,
I
am
re-‐
minded
of
what
a
great
school
district
we
have.
The
2014-‐
2015
school
year
will
certainly
be
remembered
as
a
challeng-‐
ing
year.
However,
because
of
you,
we
have
faced
the
difCi-‐
cult
situations
and
continue
to
move
forward
as
a
district.
Our
most
recent
challenge
has
been
the
third
grade-‐reading
test.
We
are
extremely
proud
of
all
of
our
schools
and
the
hard
work
that
has
been
put
in
to
ensure
success
for
our
stu-‐
dents.
Currently,
we
are
in
the
middle
of
the
retest
window
Randy Hodges, Superintendent
that
will
conclude
on
May
22,
2015.
I
am
pleased
to
report
the
passing
rate
for
all
four
elementary
schools
is
now
well
above
the
state
average.
However,
we
will
continue
to
strive
to
reach
the
100%
mark
by
providing
a
sum-‐
mer
program
for
students
who
have
not
passed.
During
the
month
of
June,
teach-‐
ers
will
work
closely
with
students
on
a
individualized
reading
plan
focusing
on
targeted
areas
of
weakness,
and
another
retest
opportunity
will
be
provided
at
the
end
of
the
summer
program.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you,
the
outstanding
teachers,
administra-‐
tors,
support
staff,
parents,
and
community
leaders
for
what
you
do
to
support
this
district
and
make
it
the
success
it
is.
As
we
move
toward
the
2015-‐2016
school
year,
it
is
with
great
anticipation,
as
we
know
the
possibilities
are
endless.
Have
a
wonderful,
restful
summer!
