Zoom Expectations:
Will you please take some time to review Zoom Expectations with your child? All students both virtual and F2F students are participating in some zooms and we have really been working on using our best manners on zoom! This will help everyone have a great learning experience! Thank you!
NWEA MAP Testing for all Kindergarten Students:
Sometime in the next few weeks your child will be taking a digital assessment on their school issued iPad. The assessment is called MAP and it covers the information your child will need to know this year in the areas of reading and math. The students will take this assessment once at the beginning of the year and then again at the end of the year. The purpose of this assessment is to help drive instruction, individualize student learning, and track growth and progress over time.
If you could please update your child's iPad and click the link below to run the diagnostics prior to our test date we would appreciate it. This will ensure that your child (virtual and face to face) will be ready to test with their class. Please click the link below for more info.
Also, please be sure you have downloaded the GOOGLE CHROME App on your child's iPad. This can be found in Manager.
