We can do it!
Data from 2nd Quarter Assessments
These tests have given you new data!!! We will be meeting soon to make some NEW plans for some content and grade levels based on these scores. Make sure you take the time to dig into them by objective to see where your students are weak and need further intervention or tutoring. Make appointments with your families to discuss areas of concern! There were definitely some minor "scares" in some areas of these tests.
Supply Requests
Along these same lines....Please don't change the film on the laminator. We no longer have a service contract on our laminator due to the age of the machine. Someone had changed it out this past week and the rollers were put on backwards. Thankfully, it was caught in time to fix it before it caused damage or broke completely. Notify Erin if the laminating film needs to be changed, or if it is on the weekend, text me!
Thanks for helping us with both of these areas!! We want to be sure you have all the supplies and equipment you need!
GRADES are DUE!
2nd Quarter assessments go on 2nd NINE WEEKS as a MAJOR GRADE. Don't forget to reteach/retest or make corrections THIS WEEK if you have students who failed.
3rd-5th grades: I built conversion charts and shared with you last week. I built based on where the 70 needed to be. For grades above 70, I believe there were a couple of instances where the conversion chart actually lowered the grade (up in the higher ranges). If so, use the grade that is higher for your students. In other words, don't lower their grade based on the conversion charts.
As far as grades go, this year is already HALF WAY OVER!!! Can you believe it?
