ELAR
Each grade level teacher maintains a data folder (previously called a "yellow folder") for each student. The folders will be passed on to the teacher of record each school year. The folders should contain:
· End-of-year writing sample, scored with rubric
· End-of-year PAPI for Kinder and 1st Grade
· End-of-year DRA, if completed
· End-of-year QPS for 2nd-5th Grade, if completed
EOY Literacy Assessments: May 1-31, Scores due in Aware by May 31st
Please remember to report each student’s instructional reading level in Aware.
LLI Info: When entering EOY scores, teachers will now see a place to “Type ‘1’ if student received LLI Intervention this school year.” Teachers should do this for any student who participated in LLI, as this will serve as district documentation. LLI Intervention Records should still be uploaded with each student’s SST Information.
PAPI (K-1st): Please keep the PAPI paper copies in students’ yellow folders with EOY writing samples. PAPI scores will be entered in Aware as a separate test called “17-18 (Grade Level) PAPI.”

FISD has been asked to show our support and appreciation to those members that overcame incredible adversity and returned with honor- and what better way than getting our own FISD students involved. Click for more information.

Science Store
Friday, May 11th is the last day to order from the science store. Please make sure your teams have spent their money. Secretaries were emailed this week with balances. If you are not sure you can ask Janice. If she does not know, then she was not emailed because you are out of money.
