K8 Weekly Memp

Good morning and happy Monday!

This week, we're starting our spring testing season by administering the FastBridge assessments. These assessments are designed to monitor the academic and social-emotional growth of our students. This assessment, along with the SBAC, are utilized to review our school performance.  

As we begin our testing season, it's crucial that we create a focused testing environment by ensuring that all necessary resources and technology are ready for the students prior to the testing sessions. Additionally, it's important to actively monitor the testing progress by moving around the classroom and observing student engagement. (Action Needed)
