The student portal has been unreliable so fourth and fifth grade has not tested this week. -Quintero

Will the portal be up tomorrow? - Jerry

We don’t know yet. Hopefully tomorrow they will be able to test. -Quintero

I am just concerned about how the inconsistency of the student portal. This will affect our iReady usage time. Since we were unable to test this week or get on iReady we have only had 1 day of usage, Monday there was no school, Tuesday the portal was ok, Wednesday and Thursday the students weren’t able to login to the portal to take their assessments or do their iReady lessons. We really want to comply with our weekly requirements. -Jerry


Professional Development Opportunities
We will offer a code.org workshop Saturday January 23 or February 3rd. -Quintero

Comments/Concerns
I would like to know when the water fountain upstairs will be working. It is very inconvenient to give the students a water break after physical education because we have to use other water fountains. -Jerry

Mr. Everett said he put in a work order last school year. -Johnson

Can someone look into it?-Jerry

Are we still rewarding students with Bee bucks? I don’t have any to reward the students with. We need more.-Jerry

What are bee bucks? -Rodriguez

Bee bucks are like good deed dollars used to reinforce positive behaviors- Hernandez

The students use them to purchase things from the school store. -Jerry

I wanted to give a big thank you to Suzie for going far and beyond as always. She called Mr. Everett to walk Ms. Brown through the process of turning on the boiler so we could turn on our heaters today. That was very nice and the room was very comfortable for the children. -jerry

Mine didn’t work.- Moore

I would like to know if teachers are interested in the Zumba and yoga classes that I proposed. I need an answer soon. -Moore

I would like to know if we will continue to receive students. In my class I am at 26 students and Ms. Johnson is at 25 students while Ms. Santana only has 23 students. I think the next two students should go to Ms. Santana’s class. -Jerry

I want to thank you for all you do. I’ve never seen this perspective. You guys go through so much to teach our kids, this motivates me to do my best to help my daughter to be the best student she can be. -Rodriguez

Thank you! -All
