Message from the Teachers
As you know, the students will be taking the MAP test this week in both Reading and Math. An email was sent out last week asking families to assist us in preparing for any technology challenges by doing a very quick device readiness test. If you have not done so, it would be greatly appreciated if you could do the test as soon as possible. The link for this is also in your child's Seesaw account.
Please note that our schedule will be different this week. We will practice signing onto the test site on Monday morning to troubleshoot any potential problems. If possible, it would be helpful if the students could have an adult close by to assist. We will be testing the rest of the week, therefore students may be working asynchronously if they are not testing on specific days. Most of our live instruction will take place in the afternoon, so please make every effort to return to our Zoom meetings at 12:00.
If you are experiencing any technology problems with a school issued laptop, you can now call the technology department directly at 856-652-2626. Please leave a detailed message including contact information, and you should receive assistance shortly.
