Pinkston PREP
Week of November 5
Message from Mr. Perla
The second six weeks has come to a close. All students have completed their 2nd Six Week Common Assessment and have given us some data to drive our lesson planning. Please ensure you are updating your data wall and are using the results of our CA to ensure our student's needs are met.
I was unable to visit many classrooms this week because of testing, however, please email me Common Assessment results. The results should be broken by the four categories on our data wall: Does Not Meet, Approaches, Meets, Masters.
I want to thank everyone for their patience as we administered campus wide TSI testing. We are excited about the results. It takes a village!
I look forward to the start of the 3rd Six Weeks. I can't wait to see the growth in our students and in our lesson delivery.
Please post your lesson plans on the new google drive folder. You can access the folder HERE!
Reminders:
- Be present in the hallways
- Upload lesson plans by Sunday 12:00 PM
- Grades Due Monday!
- Review the calendar for pertinent dates and committments
