KPREP and CASCADE Data
Current Reality as January 6, 2013 (Reflects grades 3-5 only for all subjects.) The science and social studies scores are not accurate because not all students have been entered.
Reminders
*Team meetings are scheduled for January 8, 2013 instead of staff development. I am sure you all need to meet.
*If you have not entered your science and social studies CASCADE scores please do so by Friday.
*When arriving in the morning for gym duty remember you are to supervise your grade group until your group is ready to leave. Take your students to the grade group classrooms according to the needs of your team.*Please make sure your lesson plans are visible and accessible.
*Please encourage your students to use Math IXL according to our test data they could use the practice. If they don't have access at home then they have my permission to use an open computer ANYWHERE in the building. Please send them to practice the skills they need. ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND ACCESS FOR ALL.~Dr. Dewey Hensley, CAO
