· If selected you are responsible for providing documentation on the expenditure of the funds
Please reach out to me or Christina Perry (cperry@purposebuiltschools.org) with any questions.
To Do List
- 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.
