WE NEED YOU!!
Dear Holton Parents,
We need your help promoting physical fitness and health to our youth and
community with our biggest fundraiser the Holton Hustle 5k Fest. Currently we need
volunteers to serve on our pre-planning committee to help us make our 2015 event
successful. Due to the loss of several integral committee members and the fact that
many current members will be leaving after this current school year, it is imperative
we fill these leadership positions now to provide continuity. On the back of this flyer
there is a snap shot of the different subcommittee duties for you to review.
If you can devote your time to serving on this committee we will greatly appreciate it.
Complete the form below and return it to the PTA mailbox OR send an email to
holtonpta5k@gmail.com indicating which position you can fill. Our next meeting
will be at Holton on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 5:30pm.
Blessings,
Kantrese Smith Priscilla Wright

RE: Kroger Plus
DATE: January, 2015
We are participating in the Kroger Plus Card for Education School Program.
This program provides much needed educational equipment for our school. Please take this
to a local Kroger store. Have the cashier scan the bar code along with your Kroger Plus
Card. This will register your card for our school.
You only have to scan this bar code one time from 12/1/14 - 4/21/2015, every time you shop
at Kroger and use your Kroger Plus Card, our school will electronically earn credit toward
free educational equipment. There is no cost to participate and this will not interfere with
credits you are earning for any other shopping promotions at Kroger. Once you have
scanned our bar code, please pass this notice along to friends, neighbors or co-workers so
they can help us earn educational equipment also.
If you do not have a Kroger Plus Card, please get one at any Kroger store, take this with
you, and you can start earning credit for our school. Thank you for your support.
PLEASE ASK FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ASSIST US WITH THIS ENDEAVOR TO
RECEIVE ITEMS FOR OUR SCHOOL. EVERY LITTLE HELPS!

RE: PALS
DATE: January 5, 2015
The PALS Mid-Year screening tool is an important measure of the progress of our students in kindergarten
through fifth grade. Richmond Public School’s Mid-Year PALS assessment window is from January 5–16,
2015. All assessment data must be online by January 22, 2015. Assessments are administered to all
students in grades kindergarten through second unless they met the requirements for the High Benchmark
designation on the Fall Assessment. Assess all third grade students who did not meet the Fall Benchmark
and were identified. Fourth and Fifth Grade students are assessed at the discretion of the school literacy team.
The testing materials for Mid-Year PALS, Form C assessment, can be found online on the PALS website:
pals@virginina.edu. Click the Mid-Year Materials tab. Please be aware that many of the Mid-Year
materials have changed. Please print the new materials and discard the old materials.
It is the expectation that the ERI Coordinator will review the protocol and ensure the following:
• A school-wide testing plan is in place.
• All teachers have been trained in the administration of the PALS assessments.
• All teachers receive a review prior to assessing students utilizing the free PALS Marketplace
professional development online course and review the Administration and Scoring guidelines.
(pd.casenex.com).
• Teachers assess their own students.
• Assessments are given in a testing environment that best benefits the students – calm, quiet, and
monitored.
• Assessments are given in small groups or individually as needed.
All of us in literacy leadership at the district level are eager to support your efforts. Let us know how we can
assist you.Your dedication and commitment to the assessment process is appreciated.

Office of The Principal
• Distribute PALS Assessment materials to each teacher, including the Title I Reading
Specialist, before the school-wide PALS Administration Training. Teachers verify receipt
of materials and acknowledge the expectation to maintain all components of the kits.
• Collect and store all PALS Assessment materials and completed inventories at the end of the
year. The ERI Coordinator checks in all materials and updates the school’s inventory.
• Provide timers to all teachers to use when administering the oral reading passages. Please
make sure that all timers are working before assessment begins.
Training
• Training all K-3 teachers in PALS testing procedures is the responsibility of each school.
• Attendance at a school level training is required for all teachers administering the PALS test.
• Review the PALS Administration and Scoring Guide to ensure accurate and standardized
administration and scoring.
Managing Class List
• Manage the Class List on the PALS website prior to the start of testing. Use the Student
Actions tab to add, transfer, or remove students. Search for students already in the PALS
database using the STI (State Testing Identification) numbers. If the student is not in the
PALS database you must enter the STI number and create a student profile by adding all
required student information.
Testing Environment
• Plan appropriate activities for students while they are waiting to test. These activities should
be meaningful and purposeful practice.
• Prepare students for optimum testing success – positive, focused, organized, and quiet.
• Separate the students during the Group Rhyme and Group Beginning Sound Awareness
sections so they cannot see their neighbor’s test booklet. Administer individually as needed.
• Prepare a quiet place to administer the remaining PALS sub-tests to individual students.
• Spread the sub-tests over several days to get the BEST testing success.
District Administration Requirements
• Determine each student’s instructional oral reading level using the following criteria:
1. Scores between 90-97% accuracy on a passage Primer or above or 85% for Readiness
and Preprimer.
2. Scores a fluency rating of 3 according to the criterion.
3. Answers 5 or more comprehension questions correctly.

Analyzing PALS Class Summary Reports – Mid-Year
Notes
There are no benchmarks for Mid-Year PALS. It is recommended that mid-year
scores be examined in relation to fall scores to determine the degree of progress of
individual students in the area of literacy skills. The PALS office suggests mid-year
ranges, which were used to develop this color-coding chart.
Fluency is not included in the 1st grade color-coding, but the goal is for students to
read 25 words per minute at mid-year on a 1st grade passage.
Considerations
Kindergarten – Monitor true Concept of Word closely as this is critical for
successful word identification strategy development.
1st Grade - Please note that the reading level indicated on the PALS Class Summary
Sheet is an instructional reading level. In January, students in 1st grade should be at
the instructional reading level of 1st grade. Please pay close attention to those
students that are still at a Primer reading level and plan instructional interventions to
meet their needs. At the end of the school year, 1st grade students should be reading
1st grade material at an independent level and prepared for instruction on a 2nd grade
level. This is critical for successful reading.
2nd & 3rd Grade – Monitor continued improvement in fluency. Reading rate should
match grade level expectations. Monitor comprehension as well. Mid-year is the
time to adjust instruction during teacher directed small groups within the reading
block as well as the intervention block.

Staff, please encourage the boys and girls to get their registration in to me ASAP. Mrs.
Ragland will turn in what has already been submitted to her when we leave for the holiday.
She will receive the others when staff return from the holiday.
The deadline to receive registrations is January 13, 2015. Students should have already
selected what they will perform and have practiced at home. I would like to start rehearsals
here shortly after the deadline.
Mrs. Ragland
The Creative Writing Festival is coming and we want to be ready. Please begin to collect
writing samples from your students. We would like to have several writing samples from
each class. Selections should be typed, proofed for errors, and illustrated. Selections may
be done whole class or individually and include all types of writing (prose/poetry, short
story, plays, fiction, non-fiction, ABC or number books, fairy tales, etc.). If you have any
questions or need some help, please see Martin in Rm. 117. Thanks for your support as we
are counting on you and your students to represent our school and make us all proud.
2nd Grade swimming starts in January.
