School Report Cards

You may have noticed that in the Tuesday Folder you received a copy of the Wascher and McMinnville School District's 2008-2009 Report Cards.  These report cards give us a snapshot of how well our schools are providing for our children and how well our children are responding.  I would encourage every parent to take a few minutes and read over the reports.

The first bit of information I noticed was that Wascher was ahead of the state in all three core areas: Reading, Math and Science.  The school also showed significant improvement in Science raising from 55% to 87%.  These high scores help to prove that Wascher Elementary has an exceptional group of teacher, staff and students.

You can directly view the report cards for Wascher at the following links:
