Sept. 11 Week 4
Good evening Pershing Staff, I am super excited as we begin week 4 of the 2022-2023 school year. This past week we finished Galileo testing, Pershing sports teams started competition, and many teachers were able to help us out by hosting classes though their plan time as we work through a lack of available subs. All of these celebrations speak to our mission of being a safe community where students learn at high levels to be prepared for a global society.
Good Things
Community- Mrs. Elaine Farrar and Mrs. Darlene Kilgore did an amazing job filling in for Mrs. Mostyn and Mrs. Routh on Friday.
Community/safety- Officer Ball taking his time to inform students the importance of walking on the correct side of the hall.
High Levels of Learning- Mrs. Megan Lannholm led us as a staff through our BOY Galileo test. She did a wonderful job of helping us create an assessment atmosphere similar to what students will experience when taking the MAP test.
Community- Our elementary friends participated in reading buddies. I spoke to 2 students that is where Mrs. Nasby’s 4th grade class and they enjoyed going to Mrs. Stienke’s 1st grade class to help with reading.
Community- Our Nurses have went out of their way to help Ms. Miller with a procedure that must occur in her classroom. Ms. Miller’s class has been short handed and needed just some extra help. They were willing to help and we appreciate them for going out of their way to provide a much needed help.
Community- Mrs. Fleetwood was awarded the PBL Classroom Grant!!!!

Galileo Testing
We have successfully completed Galileo testing and I look forward to diving into the data with you as we assess our current reality. This universal screener has many possibilities and features that will allow us to assess our students on a level that is similar to the MAP test. Like all new items, we will be working to see how the features of Galileo can help support us in ensuring high levels of learning for all of our students.
