Classroom Libraries
- Sort your books from the school books.
- We only need your classroom libraries for inventory
- Please move any books that are not in circulation in your classroom for students to check out daily ( We do not need your mentor text, unit text, or seasonal books if they are not left out all/most of the year.)
- Sort Fiction from Non-Fiction
- If your books are already in leveled bins please leave them there and just separate with a cardboard or post-it or some device to make sure that it is easier to inventory.
i-Ready Assessments
Thank you for your seriousness with our students about testing and the importance of the test. Our i-Ready results reflect fewer students with red and yellow hands since we started this type assessment.
Below are our results for the EOY assessment compared to the BOY.
