iReady Reading Diagnostic: All K-5 students will take the iReady Reading Diagnostic this week. Like we discussed in PLTs, please make sure you are a cheerleader for your students and they are ready to do their best! Don't burn them out with extra practice, but instead get them in a good frame of mind to excel!
Hiding iReady Diagnostic: The school district will open both the iReady Reading & Math Diagnostics this week. We suggest that you hide the diagnostics until you are ready for your students to take them. Here is a video to show you how to do this -

Items From Previous Weeks
Testing Information: Here is a link to the Testing Information presentation from this past month's staff meeting. Reach out to Ms. Gardner if you have any questions regarding testing. PGE Testing Information 2021-2022
PTA Allowances: Please make sure you take advantage of the PTA allowance that is given to each classroom staff member. In going over the budget report at the last PTA meeting, the majority of the money in this budget line is still waiting to be spent. If you would like to know how much money you still have available to spend on your classroom please email Christina Hurley, PTA Treasurer. Here is her email - christina_l_hurley@yahoo.com
End-of-Year PDP/Summative Conferences (Certified Staff): Beginning this week you will be able to sign up for a day/time to meet so we can review your end-of-year PDP as well as your summative evaluation. You should have your PDP completed and all artifacts uploaded before the meeting. The sign-up sheet will be outside Mr. Elkins' and Ms. Gardner's door. Please sign up with the admin that observes you. (Side note: We understand that some of you still have observations that need to be complete, we are just getting these meetings scheduled. Also, Ms. Gardner would like to have her meetings complete by May 13 so they don't interfere with EOG testing.)
LETRS/Mental Health Trainings Coverage: In an effort to help provide certified staff with some extra time to complete the required district/state trainings we are going to offer Ms. Lloyd's assistance again for the spring semester. All certified teachers that have to complete LETRS/Mental Health Trainings may sign up for one 1/2 day on Ms. Lloyd's schedule to work on their coursework. This is how it will work:
- Pull up Ms. Lloyd's schedule here - Ms. Lloyd's Schedule
- Pick one 1/2 day that is available between now and the end of school
- Write your name and Trainings in the box - i.e. "Cox Trainings"
- Ms. Lloyd will cover your class for the 1/2 day that you sign up
- On your day, you will stay on campus and find a quiet space to work on your coursework
- Teacher workroom, Teacher lounge, etc.
- If a Covid/Emergency Sub situation occurs and Ms. Lloyd must cancel, you will be able to pick another date and time
- This is optional, and is not required
