CDAP Manual
There have been a few changes in the CDAP manual regarding campus fundraisers. See the attached document to review guidelines, prohibited fundraisers, and procedures. Please note that the following is now prohibited: "Fundraisers that require students to pay for standardized dress waivers (eg. Jeans day)." Please let me know if you have questions.

Please remind your data clerk to enter student homeroom schedules as soon as possible. This will ensure teachers have the most accurate access to data upon return.
Classroom structures and subject time allocations
Grading and Grouping
Attached is the updated 2017-2018 Grading and Grouping Guidelines. There have been several updates, which have been outlined in the attached revision list. Please review guidelines and changes and share with your staff during staff development. While sharing these guidelines, it would also be a good idea to review building grade distribution from the prior year. It is interesting to see how campus distribution correlates with student performance data, i.e., STAAR, unit assessment, etc. Here is an example of a district correlation. The grade distribution data comes from the Grade Analysis Report in Skyward. In addition, please be sure to review the failure prevention plan and teacher/campus expectations.
