Wink’s Weekly Words
Thanksgiving is over and Christmas break is only 4 weeks away. The break has allowed us to rest and recharge our batteries, and with that rest is a huge opportunity to push ourselves and our students to learn at high levels. Make your plans now to inspire the students to chase excellence.
Also it is our opportunity for central office to celebrate you with the 12 Days of Christmas. Click on the link to find clues as to what we have in store to celebrate you.
Amy’s Announcements
** Thanks for your attendance at the Accommodation Resources training for all teachers and instructional paraprofessionals. I hope you received information that will help us make great strides in reaching EVERY STUDENT to reach their growth goals. Please review all of the information in the presentation and begin logging accommodations you’re using in your campus spreadsheet. All of the needed links to documents can be found on the iMPACT website under the Testing tab - http://www.br-impact.com/p/blog-page.html
** FA3 is due in Eduphoria on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15th.
Instructions for making FAs can be found here, if needed - https://goo.gl/kqmhBo
Quality FAs render helpful data that’s needed to gauge student growth. We appreciate the time and attention it takes to make a quality assessment. If you need assistance, be sure to let an administrator know.
