Meeting Notes:
Bridge SBC met on January 30 and discussed the new Bridge School Website, ParentSquare
weekly communications, and the recently released Standards Based Report Card. Please see
a summary of our meeting here:
Bridge School has a new website!
We are excited to introduce this new website which is easy to navigate, shares the same
format as with the other public schools in the area and includes many links to relevant sites
(Parent square etc). This website is public facing. LIPS Director of Innovation and Instructional
Technology, Tom Martellone, maintains this website and Kristen Gray, Bridge AP, pushes out
the Bridge Google Calendar and ParentSquare Newsletters to the site. Check it out!
Report cards were recently published. They will be published in ASPEN. Grades are based on
standards and the scale will be Mastery, Progressing, Beginning and Not yet demonstrating. If
you see a blank or slash that means a skill has not been taught yet or the student has not been
registered at Bridge long enough to demonstrate. You should expect to see more progressing
scores at the beginning of the year as not all material has been covered. Kindergarten
students will only receive Prosocial and Classroom Adaptations scores during the first term, as
the focus for kindergarten students is social emotional learning and adaptation to the school
setting during the first half of the year.
Reach out to your child's teacher with any questions!
