We brought a Salad bar to Dubois!

This past March we began fundraising to bring a salad bar to Dubois Elementary. We are pleased to announce that due to the generous donations of several people and organizations - we have met our goal!!!! Thank you for all who donated to our great cause! We plan to start the 2012-13 school year with our new salad bar.

DIBELs Big Picture data

Three times a year, we assess student’s ability to decode and read fluently using
the DIBELs Assessment. In K-1, students do several one-minute reading tasks such as decoding three letter nonsense words. In grades 2-5, students read three passages for one minute and are asked to retell what they have read.

Each time students are assessed, their score is compared to a “benchmark” which is the minimum score we would like each student to achieve at a particular grade level.

Looking at our data, it is exciting to see that teachers have been hard at work helping students grow in their reading knowledge. As a school, we have moved from having 59% of our students at benchmark at the beginning of the year to having 72% of our students currently at benchmark. Now that’s something to celebrate!

Family and Community Engagement (F.A.C.E.)

Building Relationships and Partnerships to Support Student Achievement. Please call the school for information on the next meeting. 525-3204
