Important Notes
- If you are not working on campus on Monday, please email Janet to let her know.
- Open enrollment ends on 10/12018 at 3:00 pm! Don't wait until the last minute on this important task.
- The expectation is that teachers will have a scheduled 45 minute computer time for iReady each week. However, if a student is in a growth monitoring assessment or cloz reading task than those minutes won't show up on your report. Also, kids may be absent on your lab day. We are not going to get crazy about this, if a student misses your lab day...don't try to carve out 45 minutes to get them on the computer (they can still get some minutes during the week by doing it 1 day for morning work or a center). We understand that there are several valid reasons why some students occasionally would not have 45 minutes on their end of the week report.
