Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
Scantron Week!!!
Team Columbia:
It is Scantron Week! Our Math and English classes will be administering the Spring Scantron Assessment. Our goal is that 80% of our students show at least one year's worth of growth. Encourage students to take the exam serious and to do their best.
Don't forget the Superintendent and School Board will visit us on Monday. Also, please support our IB Night on Tuesday.
Lastly, certified personnel may begin signing up for your one-on-one conferences for the end of the year.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!!
TAKE ATTENDANCE DAILY IN EACH CLASS PERIOD IN INOW!!
Many of you are not taking attendance all day. It is the school-wide procedure and expectation to take attendance in each class every day within the first ten (10) minutes of class. Make it your practice to give a bellringer everyday so that you can complete this task. This is not optional but a requirement.
Please adhere to this directive.
