Look ahead for November 9, 2015

Notes from the Principal:

Respectfully borrowed from Joshua Dickerson:

I woke myself up
Because we ain't got an alarm clock
Dug in the dirty clothes basket,
Cause ain't nobody washed my uniform
Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,
Cause the lights ain't on
Even got my baby sister ready,
Cause mama wasn't home.
Got us both to school on time,
To eat us a good breakfast.
Then when I got to class the teacher fussed at me,
Cause I ain't got a pencil.

You never know what challenges our students are facing outside of school.  You never know if Joshua, or Joshua's, are in your class.  How are you going to get to know your students?  How are you going to react when a student needs a pencil?

Just a heads up:  Progress reports go home next week!

Once the student has successfully logged on, they will then select either STAR Early Literacy (K-1), STAR Reading (2-6) or STAR Math (2-6).  After selecting an assessment, the student will need to select the class labeled reading. The student will then proceed with the pre-test. Once the student has completed the pre-test, a box will pop-up asking for a monitor password to advance to the real assessment portion.  Please note that the student will select the class labeled reading for both STAR Math and STAR Reading after they select the designated assessment from their dashboard.
