Previous Updates
PTA Reimbursements: This past week I sent out an email with an updated spreadsheet from PTA with the totals that have been spent for your classroom allocations. If you plan to use your allocated money from PTA this year it must be spent with receipts turned in by May 1. Please see the email from Mr. Elkins with the full details.
EOG Information (from Ms. Guffey): I cannot believe that it is already time to talk about EOGs, but I wanted to share some important information. The EOG window is May 12 - May 26 and we will most likely have testing during all of those days. Everyone will get trained because we will need all hands-on deck. There is a high likelihood that we will need K-2 teachers to assist with testing.
EOG test training will take place during PLT time:
April 20 8:30, 9:20, 12:05, 1:45, and 3:30
April 22 10:10, 11:00, and 12:55
Please plan to attend one of the above sessions.
Testing Code of Ethics and Proctor training will be held during the staff meeting on April 21.
We will have retesting this year. Remediation is not required. Parent permission will be required. 3-5 students who score Not Proficient will complete the Retake. 3rd Grade students who score Not Proficient on Reading will take the Read to Achieve in place of the reading retake. If the retest score is higher than the initial score it will be used for achievement calculations and growth analyses.
Testing schedule:
May 12 - Reading EOG (3-5)
May 13 - Reading EOG make-ups
May 14 - Math EOG (3-5)
May 15 - Math EOG make-ups
May 18 Science EOG (5th grade)
Read to Achieve (3rd grade)
EOG Reading Retest (4th grade)
May 19 EOG Reading Retest (5th grade)
Science EOG make-ups
May 21 EOG Math Retest (3-5)
May 22 EOG Science Retest (5th grade)
All materials on walls, cabinets, etc. must be removed or covered by May 1.
Grade 3-5 homeroom teachers will need to review the online tutorial and turn in a roster (which I will provide) with the day (dates) you completed the tutorial with your signature by May 1. If a student enrolls after you do the tutorial, you must complete it with them so we can add their name to our documentation.
Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and flexibility.
4th Quarter Guidance (from Ms. Ceglowski): I'd love to come to see your class one last time! Please book using the link and then shoot me an email to let me know if you have topic you would like me to address instead of my planned lesson. I plan to focus on test taking preparation and test anxiety with 3-5. The focus for k-2 will be coping skills (to get us to the finish line!) You can absolutely sign up for more than one lesson for your class if you wish.
Paw Form Consequences: Here is the list of acceptable and unacceptable classroom consequences if a student gets a Paw Form. We will continue to add to this list, and I will be communicating these changes to parents soon. Here is the list: Paw Form Consequences
PTA Reimbursement Link: Don't forget, every teacher gets $100 from PTA to go towards your classroom and your students. You will buy the items and then get reimbursed from PTA. Here are the links to submit your receipts for reimbursement. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Owens and she can help you. Here are the links:
