All students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade will be screened for reading delays, including dyslexia, using the M-Class program from Amplify, which offers engaging assessments grounded in the science of reading. This system not only identifies students' strengths and weaknesses but also helps tailor instruction to improve their reading skills. I encourage parents to complete the opt-out form if they do not wish for their child to participate in the screening. Additionally, teachers will provide assessment results and recommended activities to support each child's reading development.
