Dear Des Moines Elementary Families,
During the coming weeks, students in grades 3rd - 6th will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA).
The SBA is our state-required annual check-up on learning. It measures how well students and schools are performing on our state's learning standards.
Washington's learning standards define what students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade. Meeting the standards means students are prepared for success as they move forward, and, ultimately, that they are ready for college and career. Results show us where students may need extra help or more of a challenge.
You can help, as you do every day, by ensuring your student consistently gets enough sleep, eats breakfast, and is on time to school.
Between April 23rd – May 25th please avoid making appointments on the days specified below:
Students can take a practice test to get a feel for the test.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your support,
Rick Wisen,
Des Moines Elementary Principal
We are honoring the often unsung heroes of our schools, our classified employees—support staff who serve lunches, drive buses, clean schools and support our students in so many ways. We are grateful for their dedication and outstanding work on behalf of our students.
We are in the process of redesigning our website. Our new site will be easier to navigate, accessible to users with disabilities and will require less staff time to create and manage content. We now need your feedback to figure out what you need and expect from the new Highline website.
What if the entire community rallied around our promise to know every student by name, strength and need and our goal for every student to graduate prepared for the future they choose? Our updated strategic plan points the way.
It appears our levy measure will pass, with early results showing more than 58% voting in favor of renewal. “I am grateful to voters for their support of our students and schools. Local funding for our schools is critical,” said Superintendent Susan Enfield.
It's time to share what we heard in a recent online community conversation about social and emotional learning in Highline. Two themes emerged from the online conversation.
