Koalaty Kid Training Update

===================================

ISAT Test Date Correction!

===================================

For advanced planning purposes, this year's ISAT window is April 8th - 19th (not April 1st - 12th as I previously indicated). You can visit the ISAT website to view the latest data and information at http://www.isbe.state.il.us/assessment/isat.htm  Also, I have posted your feedback regarding initial analysis of ISAT data from our discussion.  The file can be viewed at http://curriculum.risd41.org/documents/isat/isatdiscussion.htm 

 

===================================

Sending Home 2nd Quarter Report Cards

===================================

Reminder... Because second quarter ends right before Christmas break (12-21-01), several of you have asked when student report cards will be sent home. Junior Highs and Elementary schools will send home student report cards the week following Christmas break (by 1-11-02). High school student report cards will be sent home the last day before Christmas break (12-21-01) due to athletic eligibility issues.

 

===================================

November 9th 1/2 Day In-Service Summary Evaluation Forms Were Due on Friday, 11-16-01

===================================

Just a reminder that all buildings need to submit a summary evaluation from November 9th.  Please contact if you need any further clarification.   This information will be shared with the Board of Education and I want every building to have a chance to be represented in my report. Thanks for your help.
