IB Report Cards and CCS Student Survey - IMPORTANT
IB Report Cards & CCS Student Survey
Due to some logistical issues with computers/ Miner Time classes, we have decided to move the CCS Student Survey & IB Report Card Completion. IB report cards will NOT be done in Miner Time on May 30th, June 5th & June 6th!!!
On June 1st and June 4th (days of whole school EOG testing) we will have students report to their 1A teachers from 3:00-4:00. During this time, students will utilize laptops to complete the CCS Student Survey which will be linked on the school website under “Quick Links.” Students will also utilize these two days to complete their IB report cards!

You will receive yellow IB report cards in your mailboxes this week. We will work on these with our 1A students on June 1 and June 4. Please have your IB Achievement Levels recorded in PowerSchool by then. (The remainder of the IB objectives assessed by levels 1-8)

EOG Carnival Lesson - Tuesday
Thank you all so much for all of your diligence in ensuring that ALL students in our school have the skills that they need to prep for the EOG’s by doing the EOG Carnival lessons. In order to prep for Tuesdays lessons with no technology, please make sure that you have printed off and made copies of the Reading Selection for your grade level.
Passages:
Since we are in EOG Prep mode, make sure that you are keeping students in your classroom during the EOG Carnival Lessons since it is important information that will HELP them on the EOG’s! Please do not allow students to leave the classroom to go get water or use the restroom during this 35 minute time frame. There is plenty of time for students to use the restroom during the class change before and right after Miner Time!
