Dear Parents
On behalf of the Pirie Staff, we would like to WELCOME you and your family back to school! For those families who are new to Pirie, WELCOME to our family! Pirie has been providing quality education to the Chatham Community since September of 1962. We are proud and pleased to celebrate 55 years of educating students and preparing them for college and their future careers! Pirie School’s MISSION is to enhance the academic success of ALL students through the integration of fine arts and data driven instruction in order to promote college readiness at all grade levels. Our goal is to ensure that every student is given an opportunity to learn in an environment that is safe and provides a challenging instructional program that is differentiated, integrated, and meets the academic and social emotional needs of all students to promote success in future educational and life endeavors. We encourage all students to be creative in a positive learning community with the goal of enhancing academic success and promoting lifelong learners. I would like to begin this year by celebrating the success of our students as measured by the Spring 2017 DIBELS and NWEA assessments. Based on our data results from the NWEA, we had 49% of our students in grades 3rd -6th to meet their growth projections in Reading. We had 54% of our students meet their growth projections in Math. Based on the NWEA Spring Data, we had 62% of our 2nd-6th Grade students at or above grade level for Literacy and we had 50% of our 2nd-6th grade students at or above grade level for Math. We had 76% of our K-2 students reading at the proficient or above level and we had 66% of our K-2 students at or above proficient level as measured by the mClass Math assessments. Our student attendance rate for 2016-17 was 94.5%. READ MORE... Sincerely, Senalda R. Grady Read Ms. Grady's letter on the importance of equal funding and what you can do to help.
