Please complete this form during GWP between May 1st and 15th. Directions on how to check specific features are located on the form. School messengers will be generated to notify parent(s) of any broken or missing components. We tried to space it out enough where you could do 4-5 kids each time you meet and not feel overwhelmed. If you have any questions, please let Katie Pardee or Nan Brown know.
Please MAKE SURE the student number is correct (that is how the school messenger is generated- if this is wrong, it messes up the whole process).
