Mark Email as phishing
Phishing is a form of social engineering and scam where attackers deceive people into revealing sensitive information or installing malware such as ransomware.

When in doubt, you can mark the email as possible phishing. If you do open something accidentally, please let the technology department know as soon as possible.
Administering the NWEA
The NWEA assessment is designed to help us gain valuable insights into our students' academic progress and areas of improvement. By administering these tests, we aim to:
Assess Student Growth: NWEA allows us to measure individual student growth over time, helping us identify areas where students excel and areas where they may need additional support.
Informed Instruction: The data collected from NWEA assessments provide valuable information to teachers, enabling them to tailor their instructional strategies to meet the specific needs of their students.
Curriculum Enhancement: NWEA data helps us evaluate the effectiveness of our curriculum and make necessary adjustments to ensure that it aligns with our students' learning needs.
