WD Students Had a Banner Year!

Each spring, students, starting in second grade, take the State Testing and Reporting assessments from the state. These assessments help determine how well students learned and how well schools taught the state defined standards for each grade level. The results are in. You should have received your child’s report in the mail. If you did not, please ask your teacher. Walt Disney students showed growth in almost every area! While only initial data has been released, I am hopeful I will be able to share great news with the community regarding the state’s Academic Performance Index (API) for Walt Disney soon.

District and Site Goals for 2010-2011

We will utilize the district’s 3-pronged “next steps” to help define our goals for the 2010-2011 school year.  Every school in the district will help refine and define how we will take positive steps in the areas of “Core Standards and Themes (in our academic programs), 21^st Century Learning, and Character Development.” Throughout the school year, our staff here at Walt Disney will focus our work on two central themes:  21^st Century Teaching/Learning and Effective Teaming (how we support and work together to ultimately support and teach students).

We have look forward to working together with our Disney Elementary School Education Foundation (DESEF), Walt Disney Parent Teacher Association (WDPTA), School Site Council (SSC), and the entire community to ensure that Walt Disney students have another banner year in 2010-2011.

Sincerely,

Joe Nguyen
