Testing Accommodations - ACTION REQUIRED
Please remember to review student accommodations for upcoming testing. You can find the accommodations in Google Drive under Gattis Testing Accommodations or by clicking the link below. There were very few accommodations noted for our English Language Learner for the first round of CBAs. Homeroom teachers are responsible for making sure their ELLs are receiving accommodations. Please review students carefully and let me know if you are using accommodations for testing other than those noted. Gabi is a great resource if you need to review information about allowable accommodation. A major qualifier for language accommodations is that a student is regularly and effectively using the accommodation in class.
