Student Return Dates
Student Return Dates
Last school year, you shared that it is impossible to track the list of students who are absent & their return dates.
No system will be perfect, but we're hoping to make this easier. #growth
Jennifer O'Brien, our school nurse, will begin sending an email daily including a "Return Dates" spreadsheet, with 1 tab per grade, to share student names who will be absent for an extended period & their return date. In consideration of HIPPA, no medical information will be shared on this spreadsheet.
The information shared on the "Return Dates" spreadsheet is considered confidential & should only be used for professional purposes.

FastBridge testing When: Sept 1 (Areading) & Sept 2 (Amath)
Each assessment is designed to take 20-30 minutes. Lindsay O'Brien, our FastBridge/Illuminate coach is here to help. Please reach out to her with questions to prepare for testing.
Testing Times per Team:
A couple ideas for who could administer the test.
Each team teacher could give the test during a specific class period.
The math teacher may want to give the aMath test & an ELA teacher may want to give the aReading test.
By Thursday, 8.26, please share your testing time.
Helpful Info:
Illuminate Cheat Sheet: Basics about giving the assessment & accessing FastBridge features. It's advisable to review it & have it available during testing. If you print it, there are multiple links to print too.
aReading & aMath Tips & Troubleshooting: Covers things proctors and students could run into during testing. Print prior or have accessible during testing.
FAQ document: Coaches submitted your questions from Institute & the questions have been answered here.
Students need headphones as test items and the instructions are read to them.
You will not need to sit by your device to monitor a dashboard to resume a test or see who is speeding through. The only way you'll be able to encourage students to slow down is by walking around and monitoring.
If a student takes the test too quickly (aka random guessing), their results will show invalid after they finish; they will be scheduled to retake the test. Please share this information with students.

Lockers & Backpacks
Lockers & Backpacks
This week, we will be zip tying lockers that we are supposed to be vacant & contacting families if a student does not have a lock.
We have a limited number of students with IEPs who can carry backpacks as an IEP accommodation. Case managers have/very soon will be notifying all of the classroom teachers who serve these students.
In Hallways: If you see a student in the hallway with a backpack during the school day, it may be a student with an IEP accommodation allowing the carrying of backpacks so do not feel like you need to say anything to that child.
In Classrooms: If a case manager has not emailed you about a specific child being allowed to carry a backpack then ask the child to return the backpack to their locker.
