How do you send the message to students (and admin, other teachers/staff) that our primary grades are just as important as our testing grades? We tend to get very back-burnered come this time of year.

I thought it was just my district! If only they realized that by slighting k-2 they have to do even more work in 3-5 once the kids that aren’t supported get there. So frustrating!

I would love to know the answer to that question. My kids have to grow 6 + reading levels. But parents can't he bothered to bring them, and the administration treats us like the unwanted stepchild. Doesn't help that 3 - 5 teachers qualify for a bonus depending on their test results. Nothing for us in K2, we don't matter at all.

I’m perfectly fine with not being a tested year. What I do completely matters, even if no one recognizes it. How else will they be prepared for those tested years ahead?

I have report card pick up this week and I normally talk to my parents about it My administration is already pretty concerned about testing in lower grades and they send home things like once a month that discuss the importance of good grades, attendance, etc in the lower grades.

Does your district hold back primary students? If not, do you think they should and if it would be beneficial? My district won't hold kids back until 3rd grade, which I think by then is too late.
