Principal’s notes: Mrs. McKinney gave her Principal’s report. Key points made:  I ready and I Station report, Science – Reviewed the District Report Tavares Elementary Progress vs. District scores.  I station is skill based so there are some areas for inconsistency when looking at standards.  I ready – we did not test Kindergarten as a school based decision. The scores are in line with the District.  Science shared the growth within the subgroups.  School strategies will be to drill down the data to the student level as well as reviewing testing strategies.  Geometry in 3rd grade which is taught later in the year we have a plan to address prior to the test.  Met with teachers to have students remain calm and to be excited about showing their hardwork. Mrs. McKinney advised we did get our true grade which showed an Unfinished Business improvement from a D to a C.
