Class Placement Feedback
This is the homestretch everyone! As part of our end of the year process, it’s time for Class Placement. You were sent a calendar invite from Yvette and Wendy with the Zoom meeting information. A preview of what your meeting time will entail was given during your PLC on Tuesday and an email was sent with a link to your grade level Google sheet to begin color coding any 504, RtI, Quest, High Academic, and Average Academic student. Please make sure you complete this preliminary procedure to enable your team to work efficiently during your meeting time.

Counselor Corner
Can you believe we are just weeks away from the end of the school year! Please take a few minutes to submit your feedback about students who may be in need of individual/group services at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. Your feedback will help me begin group services quickly rather than waiting for next year's teachers to get to know their students and understand their needs. Please submit your feedback by Friday, May 29th. Thank you for your time!
