'Tis the season for generosity! This year, a total of $2,600 was donated by all the buildings for the Love Tree initiative. Last week, West Principal Kara Huisman and Northeast Principal Ashlie Salazar personally delivered the collected funds.

Iowa Department of Education released the new state school performance ratings and federal designations
DES MOINES – The Iowa Department of Education released the new Iowa School Performance Profiles, which includes new state school performance ratings and federal designations.
The website shows:
Schools that have been identified for additional support and improvement based on their performance to meet requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Of the 468 total schools currently identified in need of targeted assistance and support, nearly half of all were identified because their students with disabilities performed below the level of the lowest 5 percent of all schools.
Updated scores and state school performance ratings for all public schools in Iowa based on how they performed on multiple measures, including student proficiency and growth, in the 2022-23 school year.
Ratings range from exceptional (highest performing), high performing, commendable, acceptable, needs improvement, and priority (lowest performing).
Shout out to Glenwood High School for demonstrating the largest growth in performance profile score within the district from 2022 to 2023, by increasing its overall rating 4.4%.!
Congrats to Glenwood Middle School for their consistency in maintaining their commendable status four consecutive years from 2019-2023 (no ratings in 2020).
Congrats to both Northeast and West for garnering high performing status for now four consecutive years!
