Happy 2015!


Welcome Back

Hopefully everyone had an excellent break with time to relax and recharge for 2015!  As we come back, we hit the ground running starting with MOY assessments.


mClass MOY Assessments

The mClass testing window begins on January 7th and closes on January 30th.  These assessments give us an opportunity to chart progress from BOY as well as guide future instruction, guided reading group formation, intervention groups, etc.

If you have a new student or a student that switched to a new home room and they are not on the correct roster, let Emily Moorman know and she will work on making that right!


Performance Series Assessments

The Performance Series assessment window opens this month, too! Third graders will take the Performance Series math assessment.  Fourth and fifth graders will take the Performance Series math and reading assessments.

If you have a new student in your classroom or a student who is no longer at Carrboro, please check in with Janet Davis-Castro and Steve Barringer to make sure your roster is correct and up to date.

You will be hearing soon about your Performance Series testing dates and accommodation groups!
