iReady Diagnostics Continues

1. Checklist – The checklist will help you and your scholar(s) get organized and prepared for the diagnostic. The better the preparation, the better the administration.

2. Schedule – The schedule will let you know when your scholar(s) will take the IReady diagnostic.

3. Supportive Phrases – This document provides some suggestions for how to encourage your scholar before, during and after the assessments.

TAG Testing & Instruction

An email was sent earlier this week with a letter to parents regarding the plan to complete TAG testing from Spring 2020. If your scholar began TAG testing but you did not receive the letter by email, please contact Mrs. Banks by email: banksyc@fultonschools.org

Due to the priority of completing testing from Spring 2020 and determining eligibility for the current school year, parents of TAG scholars are encouraged to complete the TAG packets created by the district. Links have been provided in this newsletter and corresponding email. Additionally, a majority of our TAG scholars (not all) have been assigned to teachers with the requisite TAG credentials. This will ensure we continue to provide services to meet their academic needs during the Universal Remote Learning period.

Class Link

Find this icon on your FCS device desktop. For families without an FCS device, go to our school's web site: fultonschools.org/stonewalltelles
zoom_out_map

Class Link Log In

Scholars' username is their ID number and password is their birthday. This will give them access to all of the resources necessary for Universal Remote Learning.
zoom_out_map

Class Link Resources

After logging in to Class Link, you will see a similar page with folders containing various apps and tools. Two most important are the MS Office 365 (lower right) and iReady (top right). Inside the MS O365 folder is the MS Teams app. Your scholar will go there first to meet with teacher every morning.

MS TEAMS PAGE

Scholars will access MS Teams first thing every morning to meet their teacher and classmates. Their page will look similar to the one depicted. They will need to look for the one with "General" in the title.

DEVICE DEPLOYMENT GRADE 2

Second grade scholars attending F2F will receive devices upon attending. Deployment to the remaining 2nd grade scholars will begin subsequently. FCS prioritizes deployment to all students across the district. This priority and shipping delays may extend the deployment period. Once deployment begins, email carteram@fultonschools.org for additional information.

Learning Packets

FCS created learning packets are intended for families that are unable to or do not wish to engage in daily remote instruction. All families are asked to select the method of engagement – weekly packet completion or remote learning participation. Changes in your method of engagement must be communicated to your child’s teacher and will be effective the following week. Engagement methods cannot be changed during a given week.


Weeks 4 & 5 packets are available now for drive through pick-up in our bus loop. Please take only one packet per scholar. Completed packets are due by the following Tuesday of the designated week. If you require a previously available week's packet, please call the school at 470-254-3500 to arrange for pickup or access the link below or in the corresponding email. Packets may be turned in after the scheduled time. However, it is important to establish routines for student pacing, documenting of engagement, attendance, and grading.


Students with IEPs (except AU program students) will complete the same packets as their grade level general education counterparts. IRR teachers will communicate and make modifications to the packets as appropriate per the individual student's IEP.


Please pay close attention to the labels on the bins. A separate receptacle will be marked for submission of completed packets.
