iReady Information Prior To Testing Window Opening:
- Login cards were printed and placed in Mailboxes. Have these ready to go for our testing window that opens next week. Share with your Title and Sped teammates for students you have in common.
- We do not begin testing until September 4th- this is when the iReady Diagnostic Window opens for GBE
- Be sure to show the PPT before testing-this was discussed at the iReady training; If you are not able to find it be sure to ask a teammate or Mrs. Bond is happy to help as well!
- Remember iReady is what we will be using for our SLO's in Math and Reading. We will be discussing how this will look on the SLO template soon.
- Sped student's with accommodations should have been shared out with you this week by your Sped Teammates.
- If you need headphones you need to let Mrs. Slater know how many you need for your classroom.

Reminders and To Do's:
- Great Teaching Continuing! Dave and I will be out doing Walk thrus. We will follow up after to meet/talk regarding evals. Look for an email or note asking to get together quickly afterwards.
- Check "All Things Evaluative" Google Classroom. Read over the MSD SLO Protocols. I will have a brief SLO meeting soon to go over what I have pushed out in Google Classroom and answer questions. Look for an invite soon.
- Check out the PD videos I share out for Speedy PD in Google Classroom.
- Keep on top of any "Gateway Behaviors" you are seeing in your classrooms. Keep these small so they do not get big and sabotage learning.
- Review your emergency procedures. Mr. Samuel will be sending out info on our first drills for this next month.
- Complete your requred District Training Videos by the deadlines- email reminders are sent.
- Have Emergency Sub Plans on place.
- Have lesson plans available for when Dave and I walk through. We do want to be able to glance over these somewhere on your desk or in the room.
- Dave sent out the digital copy of the PD Log. Be sure your are keeping your PD hours logged. These are turned in at the end of the year to Dave. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KLexuWgqvFWdKLblvlvci_kwfypsJ14ubXi7s3beu70/edit
