Dear Families,

This month, our students completed the NWEA MAP Growth Reading Assessment. In the coming weeks, students will be bringing home their individual results. These reports provide valuable insight into your child’s reading strengths and areas for growth.

The MAP assessment helps us determine class placements and identify which students may benefit from extra tutoring opportunities. Our goal is to ensure every student has the support they need to become a confident, successful reader and writer.

Along with MAP scores, families will see their child’s Lexile® reading level. A Lexile score is a measure of both text complexity and reading ability. In Texas, grade-level expectations generally fall within the ranges below:

6th Grade: ~ 925L–1070L

7th Grade: ~ 970L–1120L

8th Grade: ~ 1010L–1185L

If you’d like to look up books and texts that match your child’s Lexile level, visit the Lexile “Find a Book” tool at www.lexile.com/fab

. This resource helps you find books that fit both your child’s reading ability and personal interests.

Finally, we encourage families to make reading and writing a part of everyday life at home. A few simple strategies include:

Asking your child to read aloud to you or summarize what they’ve read.

Reading together and discussing new words or ideas.

Encouraging your child to keep a short journal, write letters, or create stories.

With your support, we can help all students grow into lifelong readers and writers. Thank you for partnering with us!

Warm regards,

The Reading Department

Supporting Student Organization

At ARMS, we know that organization is key to student success. To support this, we are encouraging all students to use a student planner. Planners directly connect to the “O” in WICOR (AVID Strategies)—helping students track assignments, deadlines, and important events.

All students students are required to have a planner and benefit from building strong organizational habits. It is an expectation that all teachers actively incorporate planners into classroom routines to support organization and an expectation for parents to sign in the planner each week acknowledging you have read all the hard work your student has completed. By consistently using planners in and out of the classroom, we reinforce organization as a lifelong skill for all students.

Please monitor the Gator Hour activities via Schoology designed to help students learn how to use this tool effectively. If they are lost, they must be replaced with a new one with their grade level AP. If you need help or have questions about Gator Hour please reach out to your student's 4th period teacher!

CAR RIDER LOOP / WALKERS

For the safety of our students, please do not move our parking cones in any area that is placed to direct traffic. Our traffic signage is expected to be completed soon. Just a few reminders for safety…
1 - The front car rider loop is a “ONE WAY” at all times. Please do not exit the front parking lot, turning right. It is a “left turn” only to follow the car rider loop. Our car rider loop is a double-stacking lane in one direction at all times. “ONE WAY” signs will be posted soon!
2 - The stop sign in the curve of the car rider line was placed there on accident. You may disregard this sign and continue to proceed around the car rider loop to help continue to flow of drop-offs/pick-ups. Please be patient and kind as you merge into one lane in the car rider loop.
3 - Do not drive through cones in the parking lot. We have had to replace several cones that have been destroyed by cars running over them.
4 - In the car rider loop, please encourage your child to be ready to “unload” as soon as your car stops in front of the school (Under the awning area). This helps us move the line faster, get you through the car rider loops faster, and get kids in the building on time. We appreciate you for always “pulling all the way down” before you stop! The thumbs up, smiles, and waves are all in appreciation!!!
If your child is a walker, remind them to proceed home as soon as they are dismissed. We have too many students that are hanging out in front of the school/on campus that should be leaving the campus when they are dismissed. Students found not leaving the campus immediately will receive consequences.
