Mastery Dashboard in Quizalize
Here is a link to TEKS Quizalize landing page..you can access pre-made quizzes tagged to Texas state standards. Quizalize also would like to highlight their Mastery Dashboards which allows you to track student performance data across the TEKS standards. If you assign your quizzes from the above TEKS page or from the Mastery Dashboard itself, then student data will populate the dashboard!

Using Quizalize to help students prepare for STAAR
With STAAR exams coming up soon, Quizalize created some tutorials that are particularly useful in helping teachers prepare students for these exams.
Reviewing for a state test doesn't have to be a tedious venture, so they converted past STAAR exams into Quizalize quizzes for teachers to use in the classroom. In fact, please check out this case study from fellow Texas teachers on how Quizalize helped improve test scores for their students.

Messages from the Warrior Repair Center
Students should not be bringing their chargers to school. They are supposed to stay at home. Please help encourage our awesome students to leave chargers at home for the following reasons:
- They are easy to lose and mix up with other student’s chargers. If a student turns in another student’s charger at the end of the year, they don’t credit for a charger being turned in. The student who the charger was assigned to gets the credit (and a refund if they already purchased a replacement).
- Chargers are NOT covered by the $35 insurance.
- They are trip hazards in the classroom. There are already enough obstacles in the classrooms, the last thing we need is cables across the floor added to the mix.
Thanks to everyone who sends students to me with a work order and their case. It makes a big difference in helping them prepare for the expectations in high school. Not to mention keeps their device safe in transit (we are kind of short on supply right now…)
