Testing at a Glance:

There are no current updates or information regarding upcoming testing. :-)
Textbook Gaylord Information
They will begin shipping out Gaylords next week. When we receive our Gaylord, ONLY the items listed may go inside:
Grades 3-4 Social Studies
Grade 6 Social Studies
Art Grades K-6 (Teacher may keep one copy)
Music Grades K-6 (Teacher may keep one copy)
K-5 USED Envision and Investigation Math Consumables
Grade 6 USED Math Consumables
Grade 5 Social Studies will not go inside of the Gaylord. In addition, you may not fill the Gaylord with library materials, random teacher materials, unused or gently used consumable math workbooks, or any other materials other than those listed above. Before any books are placed inside of the Gaylord, you will need to get with Clarence, so that he knows exactly what you are placing inside of the Gaylord and how many of that item you are placing inside. He will give you a sheet to fill out with this information.
