PLC Conference Update
Just a reminder: ACCESS TESTING for our ESL Students
The last week of January we will begin ACCESS testing for all ESL students in our school. Candyce will be testing in her room and Elke will be in Kim Deatons room. Caroline will be using A100 for her first graders after LLP is over.
We need all students to travel silently in the hallways and especially by the restrooms. They will begin after the morning announcement.
They will be testing through late February.
Just a reminder: Important Meeting hosted by our School Improvement Council
- Our SIC (School Improvement Council) will be hosting a legislative event on February 10th at 6:00 in our cafeteria. This is an event that each teacher is HIGHLY encouraged and recommended to attend. We have two delegates from the York County legislature coming to share their position on education. We have invited all elementary SIC's in the district to attend; as well as Dr. Epps and our School Board. This is a great way to support our profession and to hear what our delegates have to say. If you attend the meeting on February 10th, you will have two hours to use towards the teacher workday in March. You can come in two hours late or leave two hours early. Again, I highly encourage you to attend. Click on the attachment below to view the flyer. We will have a sign in sheet for staff.
