After teachers record grades, they may dispose of CSAs with the exception of any teachers who are collecting evidence/documentation of mastery for special circumstances.  Teachers may use their professional judgement.  For example, if you have a parent that you know will want to see the CSA result, hold on to that one.  I'm happy to talk to you individually if you have any questions!

Please be actively monitoring the playground during class recesses. We have many students in PreK doorways, hitting PE doors, or making unwise choices when far from adults. Moving around and spreading out will help curb many of these issues.

As we prepare for Distance Learning, I wanted to provide you with some reminders concerning Google Meets with Students!

1. Access your Google Meet the way you've directed your students: Google Classroom post, Canvas, Nickname. This way you will see that it should work for them.  Any of the above methods will prevent students from joining before you are on the call. DO NOT share Google Meet Links with Students via Google Calendar Invites as this opens the opportunity for private video calls between students.

2. You can now only join Google Meets from one device at a time. You cannot have Google Meet on your iPad while you have it on a laptop or Chromebook as well.

3. Explore the features before joining the call with your students for the first time. Video Link to Navigating Google Meet (not iPad). You can mute everyone and limit their chats and cameras. You cannot force students to unmute or turn on cameras for students remotely; this is for privacy reasons. If you remove someone from a Meet twice, they cannot rejoin for 24 hours. Here is the iPad Google Meet Paper Tutorial if you are choosing to use your iPad as your Distance Learning Device.

4. Pay attention to the camera and audio settings. Students will be prompted three times to allow on a Chromebook/Browser: Audio and Camera, Audio, Camera. Check your Audio input and output in Meet settings and that your device speakers are turned up.

If a student was not on a SLIP but scores below on the EOY benchmark, you do not fill out a SLIP.

The point of the SLIP is to document interventions.  Being at the end of the year, the SLIP is not needed.

Hello CE Chromebook families!

With the prediction of VERY cold and wintery weather coming in on Tuesday am, we will need to distribute our Chromebooks.

When: Monday 2/17/25

Time: 11am-1pm

Where: CE Main east side office

Parking: PLEASE park in a parking spot in front of the building or in our big lot. Do not park in front of school along the fire lane.

Since weather is unpredictable, we do not know if we will be out or not. This decision will be made by the district as soon as they are able to make it.  Please have students bring their computers and chargers to school on Tuesday (and after) if we are in school. Computers are essential at school too so as soon as we get back to school (IF we miss) please bring computers back to school.

Please remember these computers are only passed out to those families that have already requested them.

You will get very specific directions from your teacher if we move to distance learning the morning of distance learning (once it is called).

Thank you so much!
Leslie Haynes
