In an effort to provide consistent communication, the special programs department will be using the following dates when deciding extra time for 504 and SPED students. Please do not add or remove the wording when discussing the timelines with parents and students.

To allow more time for students to complete the enrollment process, the last start date has been moved from 10.26 to 10.31.

Benchmark 1 will be October 9th through October 12th.

We will have another Homeroom competition for Benchmark completion.

Step 2 B and all of Step 3 will be due October 12th. We have individual DDI meetings this week, so feel free to ask questions then (or before).

On behalf of Sharon Wakefield, below is the latest September 2018 Instructional Coaching newsletter. Be sure to check out the great resources and instructional tips from the instructional coaches, including using Chat Stations to get students moving in the classroom as well as using a survey in a unique way to increase your knowledge about your students in your classroom. We hope your school year is off to a great start and look forward to seeing some of you in the first book club of the year.
