Dewey Carter Elementary Students Celebrate Improvements on SCREADY Standardized Tests October 31 was not only Halloween, but it was also an exciting day for many students at Dewey L. Carter Elementary School! Students are tested each spring with the SCREADY standardized test in Reading and Math and this past spring, students were issued a challenge from DLC Principal, Wendy Frazier. Students were promised that if they improved by at least one level on either or both of the two tests, that they would be rewarded with an inflatable party and enjoy snacks and time away from class during the school day. Over 130 students were up for the challenge and enjoyed inflatable slide races, nachos with cheese, fruit drinks, and cookies as a reward for their hard work. "We love celebrating our students' successes and try to do so on a regular basis, whether it be for positive behavior choices or academic improvements. They have looked forward to this celebration since last year and have not stopped asking when it would be held and who would get to attend. We hope to have even more of these celebrations every school year in an effort to show our students the importance of good behavior and working hard,” Frazier said.
