Look ahead for April 11, 2016

Notes from the Principal:

Hello testing my old friend!  
We've come to take you on again
Because of visions softly creeping
Left its seeds while we're sleeping
And the visions that were planted in our brains
Still remains within the sounds of testing...
Learner First Meetings will be short this week.  I want to make sure we are 100% with the mixed method assessments AND update on title one monies.  
There are some GREAT articles this week.  Take the time to read a few...

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.
