MY BLUEPRINT- CONFIDENTIAL
Great success in getting students to submit on December 9. We had almost 1200 students submit on the day. However, there has been a technical glitch and it seems that all data has been lost. All efforts are being made to retrieve the information. However, if this is unable to happen, then we will have to have another submission day.
AT this time there is a tentative date for GLE/ Spec Ed students in January. Then another day in February for everyone else. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS INFO WITH STUDENTS AT THIS TIME. Dates and info will follow if necessary.
EXAMS- SCHEDULE
The schedule will be posted on the school website. Please make students are aware. No supervision schedule yet.
Please remember no surprises with Final Evaluations. Share all assessment criteria/ tools. Be clear about expectations and due dates. If you have any questions about your exams please let me know.
