Principal Post
Since next week is a crazy week with PTC and other after school collaboratives for some, the faculty meeting on Monday with parent engagement teams is optional. If you plan to meet, please share with the team where you will be meeting. If you do not plan to meet, I hope you can find great use of your time after school. As a reminder, Ashley has a Read to Be Ready meeting scheduled for those participating (K,1, and two 2nd). I hope you have a great weekend!!:)

Assessment Blueprints for 2018-19
Audience: Directors of Schools, Principals, EducatorsContact: TNED.Assessment@tn.gov
The 2018-19 assessment blueprints for social studies, ELA, and math are now available. The blueprints can be found on the department website (here). As a reminder, science will not be operational in 2018-19 due to the transition to new science standards. More information about the design of the science field test will be communicated later this fall.
Additionally, as a reminder, grades 3-5 social studies will take a pause for the 2018-19 school year, so there are no blueprints for grades 3-5 social studies.
