1. It establishes a baseline for 3rd grade reading skills.
2. Students who score a level 3 on the BOG demonstrate reading proficiency which satisfies the Read to Achieve legislation.
3. This data is used to measure against the End of Grade (EOG) data to show student growth .

This has been a wonderful first week of school. Thank you so much for all the support and smiles throughout the week.
Beginning on MONDAY (August 30) we ask that all visitors refrain from walking their children to class or visiting in the building throughout the day.
Due to the increase in COVID cases, we are going to begin limiting the number of visitors in the building. If your student arrives late or needs to check out early, we can handle this through the front office. This is strictly for safety purposes and appreciate your understanding!
