Mission:
Sanderlin IB World
School is committed to
teaching and learning
with the brain and heart
in mind. Our community
of active, lifelong
learners will use an
inquiry approach through
our challenging
programs to become
internationally-minded
citizens.
Dear Parent/Guardian:
A number of times during the year, Sanderlin teachers use processes called “progress
monitoring” and “common assessments” as tools to determine how well students are doing academically. In
many classes and grade levels, children also set goals and write action plans to help them to focus on which
areas they need to improve. You may want to ask your child how she or he is doing compared to the
expectations for that grade level or subject area. You can definitely track grades and progress through
FOCUS for the upper grades! We use our information to vary a teacher’s direct instruction, select specific
activities for centers or computer-based software applications, and/or help students choose “just right”
books, to name a few best strategies.
We hope you were able to attend the Jan. 21st workshop for parents of students in grades 3-8
and learned about the new Florida Standards Assessments and what your child will need to be able to do to
be successful with very different testing formats. You can always review valuable information included in
the district’s web page (http://pcsb.schoolwires.net/domain/230) and the state’s web page (http://
www.fsassessments.org/students-and-parents). Our school was selected by the state for “field testing” a
version of the Florida State Assessment writing test, which will be held for grades 4-8 on Feb. 4-5, 2015.
That means we will be part of a group of schools who take the test to see how well it works under the
conditions it will be used next year. After a field test, the developers make changes for the final assessment
according to the results of this one.
As we approach the first round of state tests, please help your child perform at his or her best
each day by: eating a good breakfast, getting a good night’s sleep, and being in school every day on time
and in seat by 8:35 a.m. (we recommend arrival no later than 8:15 a.m. so there is plenty of time for
breakfast if needed, and settling in the classroom). In addition, getting students used to reading for long
periods of time (called “reading stamina”) is also a plus during these testing times. Across the grade levels,
reading 20 - 45 minutes each night (or being read to by a parent or family member in the primary grades)
helps build that stamina.
Our home-school partnership is the key to highest student achievement. Please stay in contact &
keep up with what’s happening by insuring your phone numbers and email addresses in FOCUS are kept up
-to-date, our communication source for the weekly voicemail messages and sending home digital copies of
our monthly newsletter & other important information. I also encourage you to take time each night to talk
with your child about the best part of each day & celebrate successes!

Monthly News Updates
* School Messenger is the distr ict’s communication tool with which we can send voicemail
and email messages WITH ATTACHMENTS! Due to budget cuts & the IB way of “going
green” and conserving our natural resources, the vast majority of communication will be sent
electronically this school year. Please listen to the Sunday night “Weekly Message” to keep you
informed of weekly events!
* It's very important that your current home and business telephone numbers, as well as two
emergency contacts always be on file in the school office. PLEASE KEEP YOUR PHONE
NUMBERS & EMAIL ADDRESSES UPDATED IN FOCUS!
* New Address??? Quite a few student addr ess updates have been r ecently r epor ted to
teachers or the front office. Parents MUST bring proof of any change in address to the front office, in order to have the address changed in the district database. Parents must bring in a utility
bill, phone bill, or lease for the new address. It is very important to keep this information up-todate; transportation and county mailings depend on having the correct information in our system!
Thank you.
