- I wanted to take a moment to clarify my postponing the two vertical teaming days, notice on the calendar Tuesday's teaming has been postponed as well, on rubric based instruction and small group mathematics centers. When five staff members call in sick the morning of the small group mathematics it sends a clear message that we, all staff members, are tired and/or not prepared for the activity. Message received loud and clear!
A big thanks to those who were ready to go and prepared for the day. I will let you know if we can squeeze these days in before we release for summer break.
- By week's end I want to have a beginning, middle and end of year Star360 score for all students grades Kinder through 6th. I will send out a power point for everyone to fill out as early as tomorrow morning. That spread sheet will also have a beginning and ending running record for grades Kinder through 4th.
- We will have a VOLUNTARY faculty meeting Tuesday after school to discuss the title one budget for next year. We will be looking at after-school tutoring, a book room, Learner First and other technology components including more chrome books. I do not expect the meeting to last more than a normal meeting would.
Keep smiling and fake it 'til you make it! Three weeks to go!

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.
