WRSD Superintendent Updates

Gr. K-8 STAR Middle of Year Benchmark Test Results Parents/guardians of students in Grades K-8 are now able to view their child’s Middle of Year Benchmark STAR scores in Powerschool.  STAR test results are used by Gr. K-8 teachers to identify student’s strengths and opportunities for growth in Early Literacy/Reading and Mathematics. Parents will be able to view both the “Unified Scale Score” and the “Percentile Rank”.  Please  link here  for directions on  How to View MCAS and Star Assessment Scores in Powerschool .  If parents/guardians have questions about his/her child’s results, they should consider meeting with the principal, counselor, or teacher to discuss areas where improvement may be needed and/or ways that parent/guardian may support their child’s learning at home.  Thank you for your continued partnership!

Every year the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education releases a report card for each school and district in the state.  Just as a student’s report card shows how they are doing in different classes, school and district report cards are designed to show parents and community members how a school or district is doing in different areas.  Report cards highlight a school or district’s strengths as well as any challenges that need to be addressed in order to make sure the needs of all students are being met.   Hard copies are available upon request, please contact your school’s office. To see our district’s report card or to search for our schools’ report cards, they are linked to our district and school websites and can be viewed at https://www.wrsd.net/district_info/dese_report_cards .
