Before you leave the lab after each test:

Notes from Esther....
Don't forget to get Istation done if you haven't already.
Please continue helping us get remote testers signed up! The tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet will show you which of your students need to sign up. Please take the time to start reaching out to your remote parents individually by phone.

Notes from Selena....
Don't forget - MOY DRA is optional; however, if you would like to have your students tested, please let me know, and I will start pulling them to test at the end of next week so that you have updated scores. The district has not yet said if EOY will be optional, so if it is mandatory, this may help for that as well as placement in groups. This is for face-to-face students only.
Shout Outs!
Everyone who helped or offered help when my battery died after school! Thank you so much; I appreciate you and special thanks to Traci and her husband for staying with me! - Jean Allen
