On Thursday, February 5th the NC State State School Board will announce the "grade" for Erwin Elementary along with the grades for all other public schools in NC. 80% of our grade will be based on proficiency (48.1 %) and 20 % on growth. I know that we all work hard to have an A+ school but sadly, that is not the grade we will see Thursday. We have to ensure that we do not let the state tell us about our school's worth! We know that a grade, based off of a few days of testing, is just one way we can share our story. I want each of you to embrace the grade we are given on Thursday but also ensure that it does not define us! We have a story to tell of all the great things happening at Erwin Elementary. Think about all of the students we've seen "get it" after persisting and not giving up. Think of the students we've had leave our site and continue to succeed at middle school and high school. Please view the "how to" clip on creating an elevator speech before next week.
On Tuesday, February 10th, we will be working on elevator speeches to share with our community. It is up to US to share our story!
Have an amazing week!
