Conferences/Thanksgiving Break:

Well, here we are on the brink of Teacher/Parent Conferences and Thanksgiving Break, both of which are important times of year.   Scheduled conferences will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 24-25, no school that day for students.    These conferences give you and teachers an opportunity to discuss strengths of your child and also to discuss areas of growth, concerns, etc.  I encourage all of you to make good use of that time and to share openly.  We want every single child to reach his/her highest potential.

MAP:

MAP stands for Measures of Academic Success.  Juneau Schools has embarked on a new way for assessing students.  It is through MAP.  What makes MAP so unique is that each student is accesses on a computer, each computer test generates a test for the level that your child is at (this is a technological breakthrough in the way testing can occur), and scores are immediate.  Your child will be tested 3 times/year and teachers will use the results to help drive instruction in a differentiated approach.  Look for more information coming.

Violent Video Games

Research confirms that violent games can increase children’s aggression.  Visit this web link for more information: http://www.psychologymatters.org/videogames.html

 

Sincerely,

Dave Stoltenburg, Principal
Harborview Elementary School
