Nurse's Notes
The 5th grade growth and development video will be viewed during PE classes on Friday, March 8. Permission slips were e-mailed to parents two weeks ago. They are due back to me by Tuesday, March 5. Students will only be allowed to view the video and participate in classroom discussion with a signed permission slip. Boys will view the boy’s version of the video with their male PE coach and another male teacher in one room while girls will view the girl’s version in another room with myself and another female teacher. If you are in need of another permission slip, please e-mail me at shelly.nickell@wylieisd.net.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you,

MAP MOY Data
As you know, Wylie ISD uses MAP assessments to help determine students' growth and areas of need. As we continue to utilize MAP data, we would like to offer you additional information which may help to guide you to better understand the process. Below are portions of a letter which was recently sent to parents along with MAP progress reports. After reading through the information, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.
