Community, Let’s ‘Wake Up’!

SAES 2013-2014 MEAP RESULTS ONLY 31.6 PERCENT GRADES 3-6 AT READING & MATH LEVEL

This is an open letter to the parents and other stakeholders in the Cassopolis Community School District and a plea to take action by asking questions and sharing your concerns with your Board of Education:

  • Did you know that 68 percent of our 3rd to 6th graders are BELOW grade level in both Math and English?
  • Did you know that 80 percent of our 7th – 8th graders are BELOW grade level in both Math and English?
  • Did you know that our student-athletes are allowed to continue participating in sports and extracurricular activities, even if they have one or more failing grades, instead of being required to attend a Study Table session (until that grade improves)?
  • Visit the Cassopolis School District website and share your concerns with the Schools Superintendent, Mr. Tracy Hertsel, “for improving education for our children and our leaders of tomorrow.”  He can be reached at (269) 445-0503.
  • It is your right and responsibility to share how you feel about these scores:  Share your concerns at the next Board of Education meetings:  April 11, 2016, and April 25, 2016 (the board meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month).
