If the student receives any type of special services, a copy of the individual educational plan (IEP) or documentation of placement will facilitate appropriate placement. This includes all special education, gifted, speech, advanced math and foreign language. We cannot enroll a student until the parent
provides all the information indicated above and the registration
process is complete. Be sure to bring all necessary information when you
come to school to register your child.

Student success is always a goal at Daniell Middle School. Since you have recently received grades for the first nine weeks of school, this would be a good time to talk with your students about their performance in school thus far. Some questions to use as a catalyst for this discussion include: Do your grades reflect your ability? Do you think you have done your best work? Have you taken each assignment and/or requirement seriously? Are you taking responsibility for your own learning? Encourage your students to make necessary adjustments if they are not satisfied with their performance. Your encouragement along with several key strategies that we are implementing at school will go a long way in promoting student engagement in the learning process. Another goal identified for this year is "All students will read at or above grade level." This is a goal that we carry over from year to year, changing strategies as needed and implementing new instructional materials to address areas of concern. We offer specialized reading instruction for students of varied reading abilities. We have extended these opportunities to time outside of the regular school day by offering reading classes before and after school. We hope our continuous assessment of reading instruction at Daniell, your students’ effort in improving their reading, and your support of our goals will help us achieve significant gains in reading achievement with all of our students. On the CRCT test given last spring, 86% of our sixth grade students, 87% of 7th graders, and 91% of our eighth grade students met or exceeded reading expectations. While these numbers are admirable, we hope to continuously move students out of "below expectations" and up to grade level. Please encourage your students to participate in the Accelerated Reader Program. Students who read often become better readers. Our third goal for the year is to implement strategies and activities which will increase and improve math skills.
