Hello School Lane Community,
April and May are the months of testing in education! Students are getting ready to sit for PSSAs, Keystones and IB exams. Teachers are busy preparing students. Throughout the year, our students have been taking STAR 360 tests in Math and Language and Literature. We have been working with teachers to use the data which comes out of these tests to inform instruction. I am proud to announce we have seen significant growth in both subject areas across the grade levels. We will continue to use this data to set goals for our students. Over time, we want to help students create their own goals based on these scores and the teacher feedback they get on their assignments based on the IB Rubrics.
On April 27 the 9th and 10th grade student leadership group is hosting a movie afternoon. There is still time to sign up for this event.
On April 28 Middle School SGA is hosting a Culture Day. We are asking families to donate desserts so we can all appreciate the wonderful diversity of the School Lane Community.

Over the next few weeks, grades 7-10 will be preparing for a grade level assembly. We have asked Advisor Groups to spend time reflecting on a characteristic of the IB Learner Profile and to prepare something to share in the assembly.

Sincerely,
Colette Weber
