PES TDW Plan
Thank you to everyone for your full participation on our Monday training on Text Dependent Writing. Listed below is our skeleton plan for TDW, but I know some grade levels have already revised this to be more specific to their grade level. Please continue to bring you TDW materials to collaboration each Wednesday up until spring testing.
Winter AIMS Web Testing
Our Winter Testing Window is open for Aims. Beginning 1/15, our TCS testing team will begin testing all 1st Grade, Kindergarten, and 2nd/3rd ORF only. Teachers may begin administering the assessment for 4th & 5th and the computerized portion for 2nd & 3rd as soon as students return on 1/7. Our goal is to have all testing complete by 1/24 so we can have our data meetings the following week.
ACAP Practice Test
The ACAP Practice Tests will be administered to all students in grades 2-5 the week of 1/27 - 1/31. We will adhere to the testing protocols following in the spring. A mass email went out to our parents yesterday informing them of the digital device policy and asking them to send in wired headphones for their child. They were also informed that we will not have lunch visitors the week of the practice test.
Wednesday Collaboration
Math Teachers will participate in PD with Mrs. Weyerman.
Literacy Teachers will work on TDW Planning with Mrs. Peters. Please bring all materials for upcoming unit and TDW materials provided in our training this week.
Thursday Early Release Time
All faculty & staff will participate in important MTSS training on Positive Behavioral Supports. It will start at 2:15.
