Lunch Duty this Week: None! We now have 3 lunch aides and will be looking to hire a 4th very soon!
***However, please speak with your students about proper lunchroom behavior, as well as travel to and from lunch. We will be working with them throughout the week and beyond, but the more it is reinforced by all adults they see, the sooner the behaviors will become routine for them. Thank you very much!

i-Ready / MCAS updates
Elizabeth Kaplan is creating the Master Data Grids that Kellie and Jane will assist in managing this year. She will have those ready by early this week, and they will be shared with you all. Much of the MCAS data is still embargoed, but we will be getting it out to you as soon as possible.
Additionally, Kellie and Jane will be teaching you how to look at historical i-Ready data as needed. You can begin to reach out for this training as soon as you like if you haven't already. They will also be discussing it as they attend Data and Planning meetings.
Thank you for helping to prepare your students for the i-Ready diagnostics that will begin this week. It will be great to get some initial data on each student, along with all of the information you collect from them in your classes and use it to help them grow and learn throughout the year. If you have any questions or concerns about i-Ready, please see Jane, Kellie or me and we will help.
