Cougar Chronicles for Adults
October 12-16; v3, i6
What's Going on Around the Crest- So you can make future plans...
- Don't forget your morning duties starting at 6:50. See email from Ms. Caldwell. This is actually only 5 times (5 days) of the school year.
- Be thinking of Awards Day for the first nine weeks. We'll be sending out information about this soon.
- Something Worth Thinking About: If you put a student's failing scores in as "60," that is no longer failing. You will need to drop it to something like a 55 because we don't do ZEROS.
- Be sure to enter your grades each Friday. Guided Reading Progress notes should also be entered every two weeks (when the guided reading teachers send progress notes)
- A lot is happening this week. Plannings with Sarah Temple for Tier I, training for IQ testing for grade 3, MSV training for grade 3, faculty meeting on Thursday, etc. Don't forget to check the calendar and your emails daily.https://www.google.com/calendar/render#main_7
