Week of 1-7-19
Full Week Back!
Our first full week after the break. The kids seemed to settle right back into the routine of school, but this week will seem quite long. Two full weeks, then a 3-day weekend and two 1/2 days.
There is a another Math Expressions Training Day scheduled in February, the schedule and date is listed below. Sub paperwork for rotating subs is being sent today.
Our PBIS Tickets will begin today and throughout this week. Our PBIS team will address any further questions and some additional information at our staff meeting tomorrow.
I will have Principals for Day about 3 days a week from now until the end of March. Please make sure the invitations go home with students by Friday each week. I will have them ready by Thursday and in your mailbox to send home with students. There will also be a Announcement reminder for students on 1/2 sheet of paper to go home.
Have a good week!

Testing Sessions Continue This Week
All elementary students will participate in the winter NWEA assessment. The winter assessment window for K-3 Reading runs from Thursday, January 3 till Thursday, January 24. The winter assessment window for 4-6 Reading, K-6 Math and 3-6 Science runs from Thursday, January 3 till Friday, February 1, 2019.
Students in grades K - 2nd will need one 50-minute period for Reading and another 50-minute period for Mathematics. Students in grades 3rd – 6th will need three 60-minute periods in order to complete the Reading, Science, and Mathematics assessments. Testing should follow district testing protocols. Through collaboration with your teachers, a testing schedule should be created.
Multiple support documents are located in the Curriculum Common folder under NWEA to assist in setting up test sessions, proctoring tips, and reporting resources. It is highly recommended that teachers review these support documents prior to administering the assessments.
Prior to testing, please confirm that computers being utilized for NWEA testing have the lock-down browser and are fully charged. Please launch the browser to ensure that the student log in page appears. If this does not occur, please contact the help desk.
