Previous Updates
EOG Updates: Due to school being closed on May 1 we had to adjust the EOG testing window (we are only allowed to test the last 10 days of school). The EOG window is now May 13 - May 27.
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.
Updated Testing schedule:
May 13 - Science EOG (5th grade)
May 14 - Reading EOG
May 15 - Science & Reading EOG make-ups
May 18 - Math EOG
May 19 - EOG Retest Reading (5th grade), Math make-ups
May 20 - Read to Achieve (3rd grade), EOG Retest Reading (4th grade)
May 21 - EOG Retest Math (3rd - 5th)
May 22 - EOG Retest Science (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.
Allotment 2026-2027 Update: Here is the allotment review from the staff meeting this past week: 2026-2027 Allotment Update. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
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
