It seems we are on the home stretch of the 2023-2024 school year already as we kick off the 4th grading period. The work ethic of our students and staff over the last nine weeks has been unmatched. In January, each teacher grade-level team met for over two hours to dig deeper into our mid-year Acadience, MAP, and OST scores and identify common areas of strengths and weaknesses. We also collaborated to group students with similar needs together to design instruction to fill any gaps in understanding. Many students were invited to then set individual goals to work toward while consistently practicing skills. This process has been well received and effective, as shown in the latest review of instructional data trends.

As the weather improves and the days get longer, spring fever starts to set in as many look forward to summer break. I want to remind our families of the importance of sticking with home and school routines through the end of May. Ohio State Testing takes place over the month of April for students in grades 3 through 5 and many other important assessments occur in May that help with future class placement decisions. Therefore, our staff will continue to provide focused and engaging instruction for the remainder of the year.  

As always, thank you for your support and commitment to your children, our staff, and our school. Price is a wonderful place to learn and grow and I am so happy to serve you all.

Kindly,

Mrs. Amanda Wycuff
Principal, Price Elementary School
