PSSA Updates
The PSSA spreadsheet has been updated. There are several tabs at the bottom. Staff, assignment, and rooms is the same information, just sorted differently. Student testing group assignments are on the student master tab. There were several updates based on feedback from teachers regarding IEPs, etc. Please check your assignment carefully and let me know if there are any issues. Homeroom teachers should share students’ test room assignments with them on April 15 and have them write it down in their agenda book. We will practice going to testing groups in place of homerooms on April 23 so students know their room assignments prior to first testing day on April 24. More directions regarding daily schedules for PSSA will be coming soon.
Important Reminders for Staff
- Please remember to have classroom doors locked at all times and use the magnets so that in the event of an emergency, magnets can be pulled and doors quickly latched.
- Please monitor the hallways in between class periods when your class is switching rooms.
- Please be timely and accurate in completing daily attendance.
- Please make sure a regular education teacher attends every IEP meeting.
- Please follow any SDIs in students' IEPs. If you have a question, please ask the case manager.
Thank you!
