Information/Reminders

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For the final iTime rotation there is a bit more flexibility we want to offer. Please think about something within your academic area that you either do not get to or that you would love to be able to do with students that fits within 5 days of iTime.
Please put your plan next to your name by the end of the day on August 3 in THIS Excel Document.

Monday, April 1 - Forward Prep during Extended Advisory. Please make sure you are looking over the plans as we want to ensure all students receive this prior during Extended Advisory on April 1 and April 8.
Monday, April 1 - Staff Meeting from 2:40 - 3:00

The focus of this staff meeting will be about our Forward Exam weeks and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Click HERE to access where your advisory students should report for iTime.
The focus for these two weeks should be Forward test prep/review. Note this was going to be three weeks but our bell schedule during the week of April 15-18 does not have any iTime in the morning. So this rotation will be for two weeks (FYI)

Click HERE to see the schedule for April 8 through April 11. The focus during this week is for both grade levels to complete the writing prompt portion of the Forward Exams.
Applied Academic staff: Note that there is an adjustment to where morning electives fall and the length of time.
Academic teachers: Note that your schedule too is different and you will have one period per day that is extended as well.

Click HERE for the schedule. This will be for all 4 days during that week. There will be no extended advisory or iTime due to the adjusted bell schedule.
We will also have all applied academic teachers joining/assisting in academic classrooms this year throughout the testing sessions. That schedule of who goes where will be shared prior to testing but has not been determined yet.
Special education teachers will be working with students in a small group setting and our interventionists will most likely be doing the same. Ryan and I may also take a small group as well depending on need, etc.
