Muskegon Heights Public School Academy System is hosting an Academic Excellence Celebration Tuesday, November 13 (5:30-6:30PM)
Muskegon Heights, MI, November 13, 2018-Muskegon Heights Public School Academy System will celebrate 46 Muskegon Heights Academy students, grades 7-12, who are performing at or above grade level on the Fall Dibels CARI (reading) and/or NWEA Math Assessment. This data demonstrates an increase from 8% to 25% in grades 9-12 reading proficiency since the Fall of 2017. Over the past year, MHA students have engaged in new reading and math curricula, which has provided a universal and systematic approach to instruction. In reading content specifically, all MHA teachers have been trained in a reading intervention program that is designed to increase reading fluency, vocabulary knowledge, and comprehension skills. These reading strategies are taught to all students during a specialized ROAR Advisory period, which provides additional reading support three days a week. As a result of student progress, these 46 students will move on to new instructional programming during the second quarter. This additional instruction will focus on mathematics or accelerating reading growth through challenging book clubs. MHPSAS looks forward to honoring students, families, and team members during a special Celebration Dinner Tuesday evening.
