- - If one of the modules isn't working, please email the module's name to Shelton Martin OR Kristen Frazier.
  - Then, students should do the next, un-starred topic above their rocket ship's position.
When students earn all the available stars in their galaxy, they should do the next diagnostic specified by their teachers, and work
Students can earn a weekly PRESENT GRADE in their ELA and Math classes for completing LiftOff modules.

Students will, first, complete the appropriate "Study Plan" Diagnostic specified by their teachers.
Teachers will assign a weekly study plan module of their choice by pasting the study plan's Standard and name in a Google Classroom assignment post on Monday mornings with a Friday deadline.
Any students who are ready for enrichment can be assigned different or additional study plans at the teacher's discretion.
Students can earn a weekly PRESENT GRADE in their Science and Social Studies classes for completing Study Plan modules.

Socio-Emotional Learning Instructions

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a vital part of education and human development. We will be using the Second Steps Program to help our students develop skills to cope with everyday challenges and improve academics

If you created Second Step classes last year, they have been reset and are no longer available. You’ll need to create new ones to access materials and teach the lessons.

Please use this link to review the training topics and create your class.

Timeline:

- - Classes should be set up by August 15th.
  - Teachers will begin facilitating the program on August 22 during ELT with Unit 1 lesson 1.
  - Please review the lesson prior to August 19th
