Hello LUES Family,
Congratulations to your student on completing the 2nd or Mid Year iReady Diagnostic! As I’ve mentioned before, the Diagnostic is an important tool we use to understand your student better and where we can offer the best support.
You can also talk to your student about the work they just completed and learn more about their progress. Here are some questions you can use to spark a discussion:
· What was it like to take the Diagnostic? What did you do during the test to make sure you did your best?
· Tell me about some of the reflections you’ve made from your data. What are you proud of? What do you need to work on?
· What goals did you set based on this Diagnostic?
· How can I help support your goals?
Thank you again for your continued partnership and support in your student’s learning.
Best,
Rhonda Stone
Principal, LUES

Hola:
¡Felicitamos a su estudiante por haber completado la Evaluación diagnóstica! Como mencioné en otras ocasiones, la evaluación diagnóstica es una herramienta importante que usamos para comprender mejor a su estudiante y con la que podemos ofrecerle el mejor apoyo.
También puede hablar con su estudiante sobre el trabajo que acaba de terminar y conocer más sobre su progreso. Estas son algunas preguntas que podemos hacer para comenzar la conversación:
· ¿Qué te pareció tomar la Evaluación diagnóstica? ¿Qué hiciste durante la evaluación para asegurarte de hacerla lo mejor posible?
· Cuéntame algunas reflexiones sobre tu información. ¿De qué estás orgulloso? ¿En qué necesitas trabajar más?
· ¿Qué objetivos te fijaste según tus resultados de esta evaluación?
· ¿Cómo puedo ayudarte a lograr tus objetivos?
Gracias una vez más por seguir siendo parte del equipo y por su apoyo con el aprendizaje de su estudiante.
Cordialmente,
Rhonda Stone
Principal, LUES
