Physical Fitness Testing (PFT)
Teacher Task List:
- All 9th grade students should be assigned a PFT location and should have received a reminder kmail regarding the time/location.
- All teachers are required to collect a "Release of Liability Form" for each student. If you have already collected this form, please ensure you have documented this appropriately in Marvin (see the attached tutorial). If you have yet to collect the Release of Liability form, please do so immediately and document in Marvin.
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!
Back Up Computer Files and Gradebook
Rule of Thumb:
- Back up all files including your GRADEBOOK weekly
- Back up your Gradebook Monthly to SharePoint
Quarter 3 New Students
Please be sure that you have reached out to any new students in your homeroom this quarter. Once you receive the green light from a FAST member, it is your responsibility to introduce yourself to the student and begin working with the family. Ensure that these contacts are logged in Pathways, selecting "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.
Teacher Resourses
- ClassDojo is a free app which allows teachers to communicate safely with students and parents. It is similar to remind.com; however, this free program does have additional functionality. Please feel free to check it out!
