The Yeti Report
January 2024
How quickly time flies!
As all of you should know, we are at the end of semester one! Semester two starts on January 22nd. With the exception of those that are new to us, your student’s semester two schedule should already appear in your ParentVue and StudentVue pages. You just need to change the term the focus is set on.
With the start of semester two, we are excited to announce that we will be able to start offering limited in-person academic help two days a week starting on February 4th! I say limited, only in that we cannot accommodate more than about 8 students at any given time. The good news is this means that your student will get very focused help. You will be able to request help in 30, 60, and 90 minute increments. The day prior to the help session, a teacher will confirm the time we are able to schedule your student for help. Please see communication in the form of a letter that will be sent out.
At the end of the semester, I look forward to being able to announce who our attendance and academic superstars are! Please keep an our on our social media for those announcements!
Winter iReady growth assessments will be administered in your students' English and math classes starting January 22nd. PLEASE remember our commitment to full, authentic participation. We had a 96% participation rate in the fall, and the information we gleaned from those results were invaluable.
Speaking of assessments, mark your calendars for April 15-16; April 28-May 1; May 7-9; May 20-22; and May 27-29. These are dates that we have set aside to schedule our OSAS testing. Though it is likely we will not need all these dates, they are the ones we have set aside for assessments and make-up assessments. Just as with last year, we will conduct our assessments in-person. You will be notified a few weeks prior to the start of testing where that will take place for your student.
I am amazed at how quickly the year is passing! That must mean we are having some fun!
As always, thank you for sharing your children with us!
Sincerely,
Natosha Savage
Online Learning Coordinator
