Please be aware that your 5th and/or 8th grade student(s) will be taking the Direct Writing Assessment (DWA) on Wednesday or Thursday this week (March 14 or 15).

The DWA is a summative assessment designed to evaluate each student’s writing skills according to the state’s 6-Traits writing rubric. This writing assessment is included in the 2012 core testing results commonly known as the CRTs (criterian-referenced tests). The results account for 5% of each student’s English Language Arts (ELA) CRT score. The CRTs are also used on a federal level to determine Monticello Academy’s Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), as required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2002.

Please ensure that your student(s) get plenty of sleep and eat a good breakfast on the morning of the assessment. Doing so will help your student do his or her best on this very important state assessment.

Friday 9:00 A.M. Dual Immersion Academy will be holding their annual Christmas Concert.

Within the Mexican culture, “La Pastorela” began during the colonial era when missionaries viewed the theatrical tradition of the Nahuatl culture to spread Christianity in an educational way.

Throughout the centuries, the Pastorela became secularized and turned into a parody filled with music and comedy. It is now a popular art form filled with cultural expression appropriate for the entire family.

DIA is pleased to present:

“Pastorela Mexicana”

A production of Experimental Theater Group of America (GRETA)

DIA invites you and your family to come and spend a spectacular night full of culture and laughter experiencing rich Mexican traditions.
Date: Friday December 16
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Dual Immersion School Academy (DIA)
Price: $ 2.00 per person/$8.00 for a family of 6

All funds earned from this event will go to support DIA students and staff.  Please come and Support Us!

See you there!
