News from Super Scoggins!
Schoolnet
A document has been placed in the TAARC that includes tips and tricks for using Schoolnet at home. Please forward to your teachers have them give it to students who may be experiencing issues with Schoolnet. The document can be found here:

Schoolnet Access Checks
To help teachers determine who has access to Schoolnet at home, two Schoolnet Access Checks have been created for students. Teachers can ask their students to take these short tests to ensure that they can access Schoolnet and see all of the tools correctly. More information can be found here:

Resuming Common/Classroom Assessments
If a student submits a test before he/she is finished, teachers and LSTCs have the ability to resume these tests. Additionally, students with extended time can have timed tests reopened if they do not finish before the time expires. A new handout (4.17.2020) for resuming tests can be found here:

Leanne
Elementary School - Report Cards
Congratulations, to Mrs. VanBuren's son and his new wife on their wedding this past Saturday! This reminds us all that Love wins!
I wanted to take a minute to send you a staff shout out for Mrs. Vellenger. Obviously, all teachers are working super hard and doing a great job, but I feel like she has really gone above and beyond. Thursday, she hosted a zoom call to teach a writing assignment and managed to not only engage th students but get them to participate and complete the writing assignment. Today, she started doing small groups for reading. (All of this on top of quickly responding to questions, other regular zoom calls, and leading the kindergarten team to generate weekly goals and content.) These have both been so super helpful for Jake and I during these times. It’s so great for him to feel connected with his class and for him to be able to receive live instruction from his teacher. I just wanted you to know what a great job she’s doing!

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much Megan enjoyed the teacher montage this morning. She was so happy, she said it made her cry (happy tears of course) to see everyone. She really misses you guys at school and cannot wait to get back to see everyone in person! Thanks again!

Big shout out to our special education team for organizing and facilitating IEP meetings during this unprecedented time. I appreciate you so much!
