Any suspicion would be immediately reported to the principal. Our male students have been scoring lower on our CTBS and CATS tests and we are addressing that issue through the purchase of many books and periodicals of interest to boys. These items are available for check out in our school library as well as in each classroom library. We also support a reading hour in the Carrollton Village apartment complex. The focus of the strategies outlined in this plan is to enhance student achievement, as measured in the classroom and on the CTBS and KCCT assessments.
Children use the computer for accessing programs that are on our network.
Children also take the S.T.A.R. test on the computer, which gives teachers a reading level for the individual child. Students are constantly reading Accelerated Reader books and taking tests on the computer to earn points and collect prizes in the Library. Many children are using the children's sections found on the Virtual Library. Teachers model the use of e-mail daily and much research is done using the Internet in the classrooms under the direction of the classroom teacher. We also have a classroom set of Alpha Smarts.
