2015-2016 Class Lists
Permenant Sub Update
- Ruheena Padshah is no longer a permenant substitute. She is a college observer in Amy King's room three days a week, but is available to sub on Thursdays and Fridays for jobs in Subfinder.
- Subs are often hard to come by this time of year. So, to finish this year, please submit your sub needs on SubFinder. Jobs that are not picked up will be filled by Sarah Wojtovich. Today we had a great example of the need to keep Sarah available as a need arose and subs are hard to come by this time of year (especially on Fridays).
Fountas and Pinnell
- In May, K-2 students will all be assessed.
- K-2 teachers all receive one day sub. Kim receives 2 sub days.
- See Stacy to plan ahead.
- Grade 3-4 students will be assessed if "below level" on multiple assessments.
- Find protocols here by searching "Fountas"
