Greetings Chapman Families!
Each end of year brings us reasons to celebrate students’ accomplishments. Our students and staff work so hard, so it’s important to recognize the fruits of all of the learning and persistence that our community puts forth. While we are still in the thick of our end-of-year testing, we have just completed our spring math assessments that we use to measure growth and achievement and they are a HUGE reason to celebrate. One of the pieces of growth data we collect is the percentage growth that students make over the course of the year. The goal is for students to make 100% growth by the end of the year. In the spring of 2024, our school wide average annual growth was 88%. In 2025, it was 92%. This year, our students’ average growth was 108%. This is phenomenal and definitely cause for celebration!
You may be wondering about the PPS Rightsizing conversations that are going on or have questions about school closures. The district has a handy website with all kinds of information (we looked at the utilization map at the last PTA meeting), including a poll that closes tonight. Check out the Rightsizing website here.
Register for Kindergarten Online
If you have a child who will be 5 years old by September 1, please register for kindergarten! To register, go to pps.net/kinderenroll. The process takes 20-30 minutes and school staff will follow up with you later in the summer. With schools closed, online registration is the easiest option, but paper options are available in the front office. For questions or help with registrations, please email Julia Young at juyoung@pps.net.
