David Preston, announced the results of TELLS (Testing for Essential Learning and Literacy Skills) at the regular monthly school board meeting, on January 8. Five hundred one students from Lake-Lehman, in grades 3, 5 and 8 were among the 353,000 public school students and 75,000 non-public school students, state- wide, who took the tests in October. These tests, designed to measure a student’s achievement in reading and mathematics, provide an ‘‘early warning system’ so that schools, pupils and parents can begin corrective procedures before it’s too late for effective remediation. The TELLS results show that Lake-Lehman students did well compared to the statewide perforamnce. Eighty two percent of the students, in 3rd grade, 84 percent in 5th grade and 80 percent in 8th grade exceeded the cutoff scores in reading; and 94 percent of the students in 3rd, 78 percent in 5th grade and 85 percent in 8th grade exceeded the cutoff scores in mathematics. In terms of actual students who must be remediated, the numbers are quite low, in that several of these students are already participating in the federally funded (Chapter 1) remedial programs in reading and math. The actual numbers (not percentage) of stu- dents who will be required to participate in remedial programs during the second semester are as follows: 3rd grade, reading 8; math 3; 5th grade, reading 10; math 25; 8th grade, reading 19; math 25. Eleven of these students are crossovers, who require remediation in both areas. These statistics do not include students in special education programs. Dr. Preston is very pleased with the TELLS results. He believes that they are indicative of the quality of the instructional program at Lake-Lehman. The posi- tive impact of the Full-Time Kindergarten Program can certainly be seen in the 3rd grade scores. During the next week individual students’ scores will be sent home with each child. Parents who have questions about the scores should contact the Principal or Guidance Counselor of their child’s school. The remedial programs will begin during the second semester (after Jan. 21); they will parallel the successful Chapter I programs already in operation. Participation in the remedial programs for students who fall below the cutoff scores is mandated by state law. out the best in our 401 W. 8th St. United Penn Bank Experience working for you MEMBER FDIC AVENUE TRAVEL 525 Wyoming Ave. REPRESENTATIVE FRANKLIN COSLETT 1265 Wyoming Ave. Harveys Lake Wyoming Free Library Kingston 639-5216 Wyoming — 287-4238 288-8404 Ory port AER.
