Physical Fitness Testing (PFT)
As you know the PFT window (February 1st - May 31st ) is now open. Please take some time to watch the recording on how to assign your students in MARVIN.
https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?psid=2016-02-03.1104.M.5A774412356944F9C76A5B339752D4.vcr&sid=559
Here is a recap of some helpful information:
· ONLY 9th graders take the PFT
· Sites will be continuously added in MARVIN, so please check back on Mondays, all new PFT sites will be added by COB every Friday.
· When you go in to assign your student and the closest site listed IS NOT close to your student, then there is not a site SECURED right now in that area. Please check back on the following MONDAY. We are adding sites weekly.
· Remember to distribute site flyers to students who have already been assigned to a site (site flyers are available in MARVIN. Click on the paperclip next to the site name)
· PFT resource materials are available in the “2015-16 Physical Fitness Test” tab of SharePoint (NOTE: to access this area you will need to navigate to “Central Office” -> “State Testing”)
- · Please be sure to complete the assigning of your homeroom students to a PFT site by COB February 12th, 2016.
Remember if you have any questions, please reach out to your HLT, Roxi - rslakey@caliva.org, or Carol – chenson@k12.com and they will be more than happy to help!
Quarter 3 Welcome Calls and ISMAs
Our FAST team will be handling all welcome calls, call notes in TV, and sending out the initial ISMA! THANK YOU FAST TEAM!!
- Once FAST has made contact with the student and the initial ISMA is collected, Teachers will receive an email from the FAST team giving the green light to introduce yourself and begin working with the student.
- Once teachers receive the green light, ensure to call the student and document your welcome call in PATHWAYS. You will use the WELCOME CALL under the area of subject/focus. These calls should be done within 24 hours of receiving the green light email from the FAST Team.
Content Resources
Content Resources can be found in SharePoint. We would love for you to contribute to the resources folder. Please feel free to upload your content resources to share with the team!

FAST & Compliancy Updates
Attendance
Our Fabulous Compliance Liaisons, Heather W and David, will be monitoring the student truancy report on Tuesdays and Fridays. You will receive an email each week with students who are missing 3 to 4 days. Please reach out to these students and support them to maintain compliancy. Once a student hits 5 days on the truancy report, the Compliance team will automatically put them on the FAST referral and begin the process. The Compliance Team will also send you email notifying you of this process. The goal is to help students are early on in the process and get them re-engaged in our program.
UTC
You will continue to make FAST referrals for students who are unable to contact. Please remember that in order to refer for UTC, all numbers and emails must be attempted and documented. Please be sure to attempt to contact all adults listed on the family tab. A minimum of 5 days of attempts should be made before referring to FAST.
Low Progress
If you have a homeroom student who is failing 2 or more courses with us, please make a referral to our Awesome Family Support Team – Jennifer & Heather P. Please just ensure you document anything you have done to support the student. We are removing the requirements of meeting in BbC and all the other steps. All we are asking is that you attempt to help them prior to doing a referral and be sure it is all documented. Once you complete the referral the FSL team will jump in and help support the student in tandem with you.
**If the student is failing one class, the content teacher needs to work with the student to help bridge the gap. Also don’t forget about Intervention. We have Math and English Intervention to help support our struggling students**
Please reach out to your FAST Team, HLT, or myself should you have any questions.
