Superintendent's Message

Dr. Renae Dreier, Superintendent of Schools

Wednesday, May 7

 

What wonderful news we received Thursday afternoon, with our third grade reading CSAP scores going up 5 percentage points. That's great growth! 

Our growth was even more notable compared with statewide results. Many districts saw stagnant results or declines, yet we had significant growth. Each and every one of us, and our students themselves, should have great pride in our accomplishments. It's truly a team effort. I personally thank our teachers, principals, support staff and district leadership for everything they do each and every school day to help our students learn and achieve.
