Parks' ELL Connections
IDEAS, STRATEGIES, TIPS FOR YOUR ELL CLASSROOM April 2016
The last 9 weeks
In these last 9 weeks, all of our students will be assessed in some way either by the state with STAAR, by our district with iStation, universal screeners, benchmarks, by us with DRA, rubrics, formative, and summative assessments. At this time of year it's easy to lose sight of the most important factor of our schools, the kids.
There are numerous events going on at the campuses testing, field days, programs, and of course EOY wrap up.
Please remember we are here to support you. We have a flexible schedule to ensure that all of our campuses' needs are met. If you are in need of anything from myself or Angela, please do not hesitate to contact us through email, phone, or in person. We will make it happen.
Thank you for all that you do!
