Artapalooza!
WOW what a night!
Everything was fantastic for Artapalooza! Thank you for everyone who either stayed and helped on Friday evening or came Saturday and volunteered your time. It was noticed and mentioned by the PTA. Parents were clicking pictures with their children in front of their masterpieces. What a wonderful memory made for so many families! Gussie...thank you for all your hard work in making our school an Art Museum for the evening.
I have an App for that! Monday May 21st at 8:00
Right now there were nine people that will be attending this work session. (As we begin getting more tools for teaching it would be beneficial for more professionals to begin developing their skills by attending the professional development opportunities.) Prior to our work session, think about what kind of apps you would like to know more about (what will it do for me) and what you would like to share (i.e. an app that has made your life easier or have seen success with your students.)
EOG Testing: Track 1

Testing takes place in rooms throughout the building, so please make certain that everyone does an EXTRA great job of SAILing in the halls and outside. (Adults included)
Remember...ALL tracks are involved in the "swapping" of Specials. We will also use the TV monitor to inform of when testing has completed. (RED, YELLOW, GREEN)
