Educator Effectiveness Evidence

Please make sure you have uploaded one piece of evidence for your indicator of choice and one for our school indicator this week.

Valentines Day - Monday, February 14th

Each grade level is designated 2 parties per year:  1) Christmas and 2) Choice of Valentine's Party or End of Year Party.  If your grade level decides to have a Year End Party (instead of a Valentine's Party), you may bring in a special snack for Valentines and have students exchange valentines.


NAEP Testing - February 15th

A group of our 4th Graders will be taking the NAEP assessment on Tuesday, February 15th.  We will follow testing protocols, including no interruptions or announcements once testing begins.  We will need to ensure all students are closely supervised and quiet in the hallways.


ACAP Preparation - Lincsprings PD

The monthly district PD dates for both February and March will be utilized to prepare for ACAP Testing using Lincsprings.  The dates of 2/17 and 3/17 are designated on the calendar for district PD; however; you may want to trade out this time with other grade level planning times to allow you to complete this earlier.  Please complete this with your grade level PLCs.  Doing this early will allow you more time to prepare your students for ACAP testing (which is tentatively scheduled for the week after spring break).  The ACAP Preparation Checklist/Learning Cycle is already available in LincSprings.
