QUESTIONS PARENTS SHOULD ASK
Based on your child's school's Overall Academic Performance of HIGH,
here are some questions you may want to ask your school about student achievement.
   
What is the school doing to improve my child's overall grades in reading, writing, and math?
You may want to request information from your child's teacher to find out what curriculum is being taught and if the material follows standards set in these subjects.  Ask how phonics--and research-based testing is being used to identify your child's strengths and weaknesses.
What can I do as a parent to help my child do his or her best in school?
Parental involvement is important in making sure your child does well in school -- talk to your child's teacher to find out how you can help.  Ask your child's teacher about giving your child supplemental reading and math assignments or for additional homeowrk that you may help your child with at home.
How does my child's teacher plan to help my child do his or her best in school?
Your child's teacher should have a good idea of what your child does well and what areas might need improvement.  Ask your child's teacher how he or she is being diagnostically assessed and what strategy his or her teacher has in place to address your child's needs.
How does the school use tests (i.e. CSAP, NWEA, etc.) to make sure my child is, or will be, ready for high school?
Ask your child's counselor about selecting classes your child should be taking in order to boost his or her scores and those that will help prepare them for college prep courses in high school.
Is my child being challenged by the school work given in class?
Your child should be given school work that is challenging.  Ask your child's counselor about options, programs, and additional work outside of class that will help challenge students who may need it.
What does the school plan to do to make sure students continue to do well and improve?
Your child's school is doing a good job at improving its performance; you should ask your child's school what areas still need improvement and what is being done about it .
   
Based on Eads Middle School's academic performance, your child may be eligible for one or more of the following; ask your school if your child qualifies for
After-school and summer-school classes
Tutoring
Mentoring
Other extra help outside of regular school hours

*The Eads School District has developed a plan to ensure all students are reading at grade level.  The following is the basic steps in the district plan:
1. Two of three assessment indicators including CSAP, NWEA, and Scholastic Reading Counts (SRC) must be below grade level
2. Once student is targeted identify area(s) of weakness for each individual learner
3. Develop intervention plan based on individual needs and communicate the plan/needs to classroom teacher(s)
4. Analyze NWEA and SRC data each quarter to identify improvement/progress in performance
5. Annual meeting with district reading teachers and Title I teacher in order to pass along information to next level, identify new students, analyze plans
