THE END.

I will be sending home a report with your child's DRA (Reading) and TPRI scores on it next week when I complete testing. If your child is working on or above grade level, a mid-year conference is not necessary. If your child is working below grade level, it is mandatory. Please be looking for these letters to come home some time next week. If your child is working on grade-level and you would like a mid-year conference anyways, OF COURSE we can schedule one!

Have a great weekend!
