April 2016
Dear Colleagues,
After almost two years of review, the ELA Adoption Committee is moving forward with adoption of new
materials. Through their hard work and commitment to students and staff, the following individuals
deserve many thanks: Tresa Watson (co-lead), Gretchen Allred, Shawn Bennison, Jon Thompson,
Stefanie Reistad-Schwartz, and Kelly Kettler.
Now that we are in the implementation phase of the Washington State Learning Standards (Common
Core State Standards) and have access to tools developed to align with the standards, the adoption
process is different and more precise than in the past. Granite Falls School District is one of six districts
nationally to work with Student Achievement Partners (a non-profit group that wrote the Common Core
State Standards) to align and calibrate our adoption process with other districts, including Seattle, Walla
Walla, Milwaukie, and those representing the Department of Education in California. Through this
support, our team received training and feedback to select materials aligned to the CCSS.
Professional Learning for Adoption Committee Members: Our ELA Adoption Committee received
training in how to evaluate materials aligned to the CCSS. Our evaluative scores were compared with the
national team for calibration purposes.
National Review Tool: The committee then utilized the national Instructional Materials Evaluation Tool
(IMET) to review a variety of recommended materials. Scores for the materials were calculated and only
one program was found to be well-aligned. The committee discussed the possibility of waiting another
year or two until more publishers develop programs aligned with CCSS, but there is no guarantee that
this will occur so the rationale in the “timing” section below was developed.
Practical Implementation/Pilot: Recognizing the alignment of this one program, committee teachers
piloted some units during 2015-16 to determine the fit for Granite Falls’ classrooms. Since we do not
find more than one program aligned with the standards, we did not pilot two programs simultaneously.
Timing of Implementation: Given the elementary reconfiguration for 2016-17, the committee discussed
adopting now or waiting. Recognizing the considerable time and effort teachers will expend
reconfiguring, the committee believes it best to engage in this work with new materials in hand rather
than repeat the process the following year if the adoption were postponed until 2017-18. As mentioned
above, the committee does not have any assurance that publishers will develop additional aligned
materials within the next year; therefore, through adoption of the aligned program that is now ready,
teachers will be provided with more support than currently available with the materials they already
have.
Adoption Materials
 Preschool through Second Grade: Amplify (available online on EngageNY site as Core
Knowledge (Listening and Learning, Skills)
 Third through Fifth Grade: EngageNY (available online, but units will be copied and placed in
notebooks, books purchased)
 Sixth through Eighth Grade: Engage NY and existing materials

Ninth through Twelfth Grade: Considerable time has been invested into planning units of
study, which will continue to be used, along with additional purchases of texts.
We hope that this background information is helpful. Please let any of us know if we can answer
questions. Now we look forward to working closely with teachers and principals to support the
transition to new materials!
Best regards,
Your ELA Adoption Team: Tresa Watson, Gretchen Allred, Jon Thompson, Kelly Kettler, Shawn Bennison,
Stefanie Reistad-Schwartz, and Karin Manns

Summary: Our 1st through 5th graders and Multiage students are tested quarterly on STAR 360 Reading and
STAR 360 Math. These assessments are our best predictor of student progress toward meeting grade level
benchmark standards and the likelihood of scoring at or near benchmark on the SBAC in the spring. This
growth data is based on student progress as of the first two weeks of March. This data shows that every grade
level made growth on both Reading and Math assessments since the start of the school year.

The following information is another look at the STAR 360 math and reading data based on overall grade level
growth toward meeting grade level standards so far this year at each level (intensive, strategic and met). The
goal for each grade level is “Met”. Although our data at this time does not show a high percentage of students
meeting benchmark standards by mid-March, our data consistently shows that students are advancing toward
benchmark or are at benchmark in each grade level.

Summary: A high percentage of students in third grade are on track to meet benchmark standards in math by
the end of the school year. A high percentage of students in first, second and fourth grade are on track to
meet benchmark standards in reading by the end of the school year. Although a high percentage our third and
fifth grade students have not advanced to “on watch”, they have shown growth since the start of the school
year in reading and math.

Summary: Our first and second grade students have made continuous gains toward meeting reading standards
throughout this school year. Their experience in full-day Kindergarten better prepared students for first grade.
In addition, our Walk-to-Read program implemented this year in first and second grade has resulted in
continued student growth toward meeting grade level standards in reading.

regional high school or skill center, work toward graduation and get a job.
 Crossroad Student Casey Ballard wrote and received a grant for students to present at
the statewide Spring Youth Forum on May 19 in Grand Mound, WA. The goal of the
Spring Youth Forum is to recognize and reward youth prevention teams that have
implemented a successful prevention project within their communities; provide a venue
to showcase prevention projects that were considered, created, and shaped by youth
leaders during and following previous Prevention Summits or other youth trainings; give
students from across the state an opportunity to learn from one another through a
series of forums presented by the youth teams accepted to attend; and share success
stories from youth groups with future groups to encourage sustainability of their
programs.
District Goal #3: College- and Career-Ready. Ensure that every student transitions successfully
between grades and schools and graduates with the knowledge, skills and attitude to excel in
diverse post-secondary opportunities. Foster student achievement through active partnerships
with parents, families and our community
 Cathy Wagner took 21 Crossroads JAG students to attend the Snohomish County Career
Fair at the Tulalip Casino on April 12. Exhibitors included twenty-two of the top
employers from our county and six of the student’s have already been granted job
interviews.
 Cathy Wagner took a group of 22 students on a field trip to Everett Community College.
 Crossroads and Open Doors students have started an after school Barista training. This
class is an intensive hands on training designed to develop skills for student’s striving to
become barista’s. We are working on developing the perfect blend of real world
scenarios such as drink drills and detail oriented instruction that will prepare our
students to successfully work at and even run a quality coffee stand. Students are
focusing on:

TPL Core and Building Teams have met and are strategizing to incorporate professional learning into the School
Improvement Plans for the 2016-2017 school year.
Our WSLA coach and TPL coach worked with our district TPL committee for the full day of April 13th. We put
together our teacher leadership pathways and made a solid action plan. We will be presenting our progress at
the June state meeting in Spokane.
Parent Teacher Conferences were well attended. Our parents are great partners in our student’s educational
journeys.
You will notice that this month’s superintendent letter is more about the deep learning our students need,
backed by research and commentary on the six C’s of education.
2. Strategic Plan Goal #2: Positive Image. Strengthen our district by countering unfounded perceptions
and stereotypes of Granite Falls. Celebrate student successes and civic progress, working collaboratively
with district partners—including local government, the chamber of commerce, and service
organizations.

Kindergarten roundup was April 14, 2016. Special thanks goes to Cheryl Larsen and her team for a successful
event. Thanks also to Robert Butler for representing the board. It is great to see our new families be excited
about our schools.
The Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting was well attended. I got a chance to talk about the district and the
great things we are doing for our students.
I am the chair for our Snohomish County Superintendent meetings as well as the ESD #189 meetings for the
2016-17 school year. It is an honor to be elected by my peers.
We had a delegate from our school district speak about Agile Minds and Intensified Algebra at a state meeting
held in Seattle today. I was able to visit last night with the funders of the grants. It is amazing to see the change
in our eighth grade students. I look forward to them entering the high school with a new attitude about learning.
The Boys and Girls Club Ribbon Cutting is April 27, 2016 at 3:30.
I gave blood at the fire department April 13th. I had a chance to visit with some of our senior community
members, and I thank them for supporting our school district through levies.

Subject: 0.6 FTE request
March 31, 2016
Dear School Board Members: Rick Short, Robert Butler, Tom Eadie, Carl G. Carey, Superintendent:
Linda Hall, and Principal: Kevin Davis;
I am writing to inform you that I am resigning 0.2 of my 0.8 FTE position as of September 1st, 2016.
I am also resigning as Science Department-head at the end of this school year.
I have worked with my administrators and the Science Department to ensure this will work in next
year’s schedule.
My hope is to teach 3 Biology classes in the 2016/2017 school year.
This fall will be my 35th year of teaching and I am hoping to scale back as I consider the new life to
come.
I appreciate all of my opportunities working with you and the students and families of Granite Falls!
Sincerely,
Nancy Matlack
