Principal's Message

Dear Orange Center Families,
 
We are off to a wonderful start this school year! Our PM1 testing is now complete for all students. If your child missed a testing day, we will continue make-up sessions in the coming days. Once all testing is finalized, teachers will review the results carefully to help guide instruction. Progress reports and PM1 score reports will be sent home on Thursday, September 18.
 
We also have numerous field trips coming up. Please be sure permission slips are signed and returned, and that your child has their black spirit shirt purchased to wear on trip days.
 
Together, we are building a year full of learning, growth, and excitement. I know that, with our students, families, and staff working as a team, this year will be one of our best yet!
 
Warm regards,
 
Erin Albert
Principal
Orange Center Elementary

Accelerated Reader (AR) Program

Our school will be promoting the Accelerated Reader (AR) program this year. Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer-based reading program used in many schools to help teachers manage and monitor students’ independent reading practice. With AR students will:

  • Read books of their choice (within their reading level)
  • Take short quizzes on the computer after finishing each book
  • Earn points based on how well they do on the quiz and the difficulty of the book

Once students take their Star Reading tests teachers will be sending home information that provides students’ reading levels. Parents can encourage and assist their students with getting their AR points by ensuring they are reading nightly at home. If they do not have a library book at home, Sora is a great app they can use to find books on their level. Sora is located on their Launchpad and you can search for books based on their level.
