Testing memos have been placed in all mailboxes.
During the N.S.L.J. Test Sophistication Unit we have worked hard to connect our lessons to the needs of our students. We have used the data to move instruction and motivate our students to meet proficiency. Literacy teachers, Take A Bow!
*****Parking Permits*****
2008 Parking Permits have not arrived. As soon as they are delivered to the school I will distribute them.
If you have not applied for a Parking Permit please see me. Some have asked me if they should continue using the 2007 Permit, and my answer is
DON'T RISK IT.
A revised test memo has been placed in all mailboxes. Disregard previous memo
All classroom work should be covered for the ELA exam. Proctors should review testing procedures.
If anyone has students who may have sensitive issues to discuss, please leave a note in my mailbox.
The note should include: the student's Name/Class/Date/Time & brief description of the issue. Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to further assisting & supporting our students and staff. ** Note: If it is an emergency, please notify an administrator immediately.**
