The School Board set as one of its goals the need to improve reading. Each building in the district has written a Comprehensive Reading Plan.
Plans are available at each school.
Second Grade Reading Inventory Beginning in the 1998-99 school year, all second graders in the district are given an inventory to measure reading skills. From information gathered from the inventory, teachers write plans to improve reading abilities. In the spring of each year, second graders undergo another reading inventory to check growth and improvement. For more information, check with your child's second grade teacher or the principal of your school. The Legislature mandated that schools must increase the number of students who meet the standards on the fourth grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning.
