Based on Feedback given at the beginning of the year, we checked in with Staff at various points (Class reviews in January, weekly Learning Resource Teacher meetings and monthly Staff meetings) and shared the data collected:

• Class Reviews told us that one of the common themes amongst our classes remains a need to focus on literacy (as well as Social-emotional well-being and building emotional resilience)
• FSA results (grade 4s and 7s) from 2023/2024 show us that the majority of students are on track but there are still a small number of students that would benefit from more literacy support (such as our new Guided Reading program, targeted Learning Resource/ELL support, etc.)
• DART School-wide Reading assessment results (comparing Fall 2023 and Fall 2024) will ideally identify the pockets of students that would benefit from more literacy support, narrowing down where the specific needs are required (either in decoding, fluency or comprehension) as well as the students who are progressing in their literacy skills
