Review Accommodations and groups for CBAs and STAAR Reading Assessments
Please be sure to review the google document with testing accommodations. There have been changes from ARDS. Some changes are in the document and some are not. It is the responsibility of ALL to ensure that correct accommodations are in place for the students we serve. I also need your input about test administrators who can support each group. First CBA coming up is 4th grade writing this Wed., Feb. 4.
Random Acts of Kindness Project
Reminders will be on broadcast!! See Mrs. Naranjo's email or ask her if you have questions.
If you have students who need an extra slip to fill out, there is a large folder near the bulletin (right outside Renteria's office). Please have them take one during an appropriate transition time. Any completed slips, please place in my box and I will post on the bulletin.
Please refer to the following link for any ideas or activities you would like to use in the classroom, or if students are needing better clarification about a random of act of kindness.
Be Prepared!! - Review Emergency Protocols
Partners in Education
Please remember to use this link throughout the year to record any donors and partnerships. If you have guest speakers to your classroom or gradelevel, record the activity. Guest speakers would be recorded as partners rather than donors. Recording this information is an important piece of our accountability and allows our partners to be recognized for all they do for us.
