Sept. 15.-18

Welcome to week 7!  We hope everyone was able to get some rest this weekend.  We are quickly approaching the end of our first quarter.  Please read the following information for important events happening this week. 

DIBELS Testing

This week all scholars are going to participate in a school wide assessment called DIBELS.  DIBELS stands for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. All distance learners will be participating in the assessment this Tuesday, September 15th  via Zoom.  On this day there will be no synchronous learning. Google Classroom will have assignments and videos for our online distant learners to complete on this day.  Our regular schedule will resume on Wednesday, September 16th.  Mrs. Villalvazo will be administrating the assessment with each distant learner independently over Zoom.  Please make sure you are on time to your Zoom meeting.  We will use our regular classroom Zoom link to test all our distant learners. 

Please use our regular classroom zoom link.

 

All in person learners will be tested in class.

Returned Work

Last week all in person scholars went home with a blue folder that contained graded work.  We ask that you review the work with your scholar and go over any questions marked incorrect.  Please keep all graded work at home, sign the sheet stapled inside the blue folder acknowledging the work was reviewed and return the blue folder to school.  Distance learners should have also noticed returned work being sent back through Google Classroom.  Some assignments will have comments.  We ask that you review the comments and make note of any missing assignments and turn in as soon as possible.  If the work is not submitted, you will not receive credit for the assignment.
