The Tennessee Value Added Assessment System (TVAAS) scores districts based on their students’ academic growth year over year. Level 5 is the highest designation possible and is awarded to districts where students and teachers are outperforming expectations.
Director of Weakley County Schools Jeff Cupples celebrated the district’s achievement saying, “This recognition is a direct reflection of the strong commitment of our teachers, staff, students, families, and community working together to support learning and success in our schools, and we are proud of each individual who contributed to this accomplishment."
Assistant Director of Weakley County Schools Betsi Foster added, "Our teachers, instructional leaders and coaches, and educational assistants all work together every day to make sure that students at every level of learning have the opportunity to start from where they are and get better. The Level 5 is proof that our strategies work, and kids reap the rewards. "
Earning Level 5 status places Weakley County Schools among the top districts in the state, showcasing the district’s commitment to academic excellence. The district looks forward to continuing this success, working to provide every student with the tools they need to succeed.
Bethel University’s PA department visited Dresden Middle School 7th graders this week, bringing science to life! The students who had been studying the heart and lungs in their health science classes had the chance to dive deeper with hands-on learning about these organs. Great job as always by Kerri Smith and the PA team for dedicating their time, and career coach Mrs. Mindy Thomas for organizing such an impactful day for the 7th grade!
Schools across Weakley County hosted Veterans Day programs yesterday to honor and celebrate the brave veterans who have selflessly served our country. Each program was a powerful reminder of the courage, dedication, and love for our country that our veterans possess. We appreciate the hard work and planning that goes into each program to both honor our heroes and educate our students on the service and sacrifice of those who risk their lives for our country and the values of democracy. Thank you to our speakers, local veterans, and community participants for being a valued part of such an important day!
