Incorporating Online Learners
We are wrapping up the middle of the year Benchmark Testing (woo-hoo!!) A Benchmark incentive of a movie & popcorn in the gym was set for students that increased their score by 10 points from their most recent Renaissance test. Incentive rewards will take place the week we come back from the break to give us time to analyze all of the data.
CONGRATULATIONS MS. SCHITOSKEY

More information on the teacher badging system
Just to add a little more fun...
The first teacher to complete all 5 levels of the badging system will receive lunch of their choice on me.
The first grade-level team to complete an entire level will receive special treats during their conference.
Most of you have probably earned several badges and are missing out on the awesome swag prizes and don't even realize it. So please review the website /links below or contact me for more information. Prizes will be awarded upon completion of each level.
