Partners in Education -- PLEASE UPDATE!
We are approaching spring deadlines to have all partners entered. Please be sure to enter volunteers and/donors. Check with LaWanda if you need assistance. : )
Please remember to use this link throughout the year to record any donors and partnerships. If you have guest speakers to your classroom or gradelevel, record the activity. Guest speakers would be recorded as partners rather than donors. Recording this information is an important piece of our accountability and allows our partners to be recognized for all they do for us.
Review Accommodations and groups for CBAs and STAAR Reading Assessments
Please be sure to review the google document with testing accommodations. This document is not available for editing now as we are finalizing details. Let LaWanda know of any changes that need to be made.
STAAR A and STAAR L Resources
This information can be shared with parents to allow students to practice on the interface at home.

Be Prepared!! - Review Emergency Protocols
This is the time of year that severe weather tends to occur in our area.
Be sure to review emergency protocols with your team to be prepared for any drills or actual crises. Make sure that materials are highly visible and easily accessible to substitutes. Team members should be aware of any substitutes present and make sure to provide support in case emergency protocols are needed for any reason.
