The Jackson Parish School District recognizes seven classroom teachers who reached benchmark excellence in the end-of-year DIBELS assessment. 

DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is a set of quick, one-minute standardized tests used in schools from Kindergarten through 8th grade. It evaluates fundamental reading skills such as phonemic awareness, the alphabetic principle, and oral fluency to identify struggling students and track intervention progress.

“Their classrooms are proof that intentional instruction and encouragement truly make a difference. We are proud of the impact they are making every day for students across Jackson Parish!” – Jackson Parish School District
