Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day 🐼

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.

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.
