Progress Reports due TOMORROW MORNING!
I know we are still working on grades and Canvas and all of that, but keep our first progress report due date on your radar:
8:00 am on Tuesday, September 11.
Remember that you will post only one assignment in your gradebook for progress reports - "First three week progress report - September 7, 2018". You will only enter their average from Canvas, not each individual grade. You will do that in Canvas.
Also, please be sure that you have set up your gradebook percentages correctly in CANVAS:
• Daily = 20% - minimum of 9 required per 9 weeks
• Formative Assessment = 35% - minimum of 6 required per 9 weeks
• Major Grades = 45% - minimum of 3 required per 9 weeks
Let me know if you have any questions!
CHANGED - If you didn't get your staff ID, you need to make plans to get to Viking Hall on Tuesday, September 18, to get your picture done! We will be requiring ID's on campus.

Goals in Eduphoria - due 9/13
Part of the NexGen Appraisal System is setting goals for this school year.
Your goals can reflect support of these goals AND/OR something that you feel as a teacher needs your focus this school year:
Campus Goals for This Year:
Emphasis area 1:
- 90% passing rate/increase in all STAAR areas.
Emphasis Area 2:
- 97% average daily attendance rate.
Emphasis Area 3:
- PSAT/SAT scores will exceed state scores.
Ask your team leaders for help on how to access this in Eduphoria. It is in the Strive function.
