Eighty-four percent of Lakeridge Elementary School first-graders exceeded standards on beginning-of-the-year reading proficiency testing. The students took part in the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBLES) testing which helps establish a student’s oral fluency level and measures his/her accuracy of reading at the beginning, middle and end of the year at each grade level.

When I hear of meetings, I hope to post about them alongside an agenda.  Also watch for meeting wrap-ups, where I’ll highlight what happened at some major meetings.

I invite you to offer pitches, make comments and dialog with me and others on the issues that may come up through my blogging.

You can also e-mail me at cgracey@rentonreporter.com or give me a cal at 425-2553484, ext. 5052. I’ll also be twittering about my posts at @celestegracey.
