Please note that there is no scheduled make-up session. Make-up requirements include completing the appropriate grade level Sample Task (see below) using the Task Analysis Tool (found within Module 2) and submitting this along with the Module 2 certificate. Submit both the Module 2 certificate AND completed Task Analysis Tool, stapled together to your principal/office staff.

SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS who attended the FBA/BIP training on Friday: Please see Jane Fry’s email.
- Please remember to fill out your 5 positive post cards by the end of October. Here is the link so you can see which students have already received postcards. It is okay to send a note for a student who has already received one, but we would like to cover as many students as possible! https://docs.google.com/a/iccsd.k12.ia.us/spreadsheets/d/1cT-SmlHVfnrRZmoipTiZhSlPZoPbBQH7Rwvox_4fIC0/edit?usp=sharing

Please do what you can to encourage students to participate in this fundraiser! As stated earlier, our profits have decreased tremendously over the last several years and we rely heavily on this money to support so many of our "extras" that give our students outstanding opportunities. The magazine money supports the SOAR store, science experiments, field trips, classroom supplies, music, art and athletics and so many other odds and ends things. We recognize that the fundraiser has run its course in terms of being a commodity that people are interested in purchasing. I believe this is the last year we are contracted with this organization. I do not know what, if any, fund raiser will take its place next year. It would be great if we could end with a bang!!
