Staff Handbook
To Do List
- Update bulletin boards with new samples of quality student work.
- Remember to send any remaining scheduling suggestions.
- Log any absences in ADP - this was not available at the beginning of the year, so you will need to go back and log any absences you have not marked in ADP.
- Continue to input assessments in Mastery Connect. Remember that "assessments" does not only refer to "tests." Make sure you are contacting parents of students who are in danger of failing.
