CALL
TO ACTION
● THINK ABOUT 2018-19 PLANS
On Monday, June 25 our staff will
be spending the afternoon in ‘Genius Hour’ sessions focused on planning for
2018-19 school year (students in attendance in the morning will be doing their
own version of a Genius Hour). Please
think about what we should change or adjust for next year.
● BE AN ACTIVE PROCTOR FOR THESE HIGH STAKES REGENTS EXAMS
It is critical that
everyone be ACTIVE proctors during the testing period – we need to maintain the
integrity of these exams and in some instances, how we proctor can be the
difference between students passing and failing these exams.
Here are some important
reminders as we approach this high stakes testing period:
□ All Proctors,
including reserves, must report to room 202 to check in & return to 201
until the end of their assignment
□ Classroom and Hallway
proctors must actively proctor at all times.
□ Proctors may not
use electronic devices unless there is an emergency.
● DISPLAY PROFESSIONAL IN EXECUTING YOUR PROCTORING ASSIGNMENTS
Be courteous towards your
colleagues when executing your proctoring assignments – this includes showing
up on time to your relief assignments, coming back to your testing room when on
break in a timely manner and following hand off instructions when taking over a
testing room.
● COMPLETE CHAPTER 408 FORMS
If you
have not done so already, please stop in to room 329 by Friday June 22 and
complete the Chapter 408 forms for your respective students.
