Map Testing

CISD is conducting the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test. This assessment will help measure growth and skill mastery for learners kindergarten-9th grade. Both in-person and distance TCE 2nd graders will be taking this assessment next week. The assessment will take place on Monday, September 28th, and Tuesday, September 29th first thing in the morning. 

Families learning virtually you should have received an email by the end of Friday, September 25th with information regarding the testing days. Please read through this email thoroughly and reach out to your homeroom teacher if you have any questions prior to testing Monday morning. 

Face to face families we ask that you make sure your child is on time and has their iPad FULLY charged on Monday and Tuesday. This will help to make sure they are set up for success during their MAP assessment. 

Week at a Glance

As our second graders have become experts within Schoology, we are going to move our week at a glance to be a visual schedule tool. It can still be accessed (linked here) but will no longer be updated weekly with live times for all core content areas. We will continue to use the Schoology calendar for all LIVE times.

Library Curbside will begin next Wednesday, 9/16 for our Virtual Learners (VLs). VLs are encouraged to put books on hold in Destiny (limit 2). Once books are pulled and checked out, I will send an email to the VL and parent(s) notifying them that their holds are ready to pick up. It is important to note that Destiny may say that the books are ready, however, that does not mean Mrs. Mancuso has pulled the books from the shelf and checked them out. Please wait until you have received a confirmation email from Mrs. Mancuso with the next curbside date. 

TCE Curbside Pickup will be on Wednesday's from 11:00-12:30pm in the Front Loop. Library books will be quarantined for 7 days before they are checked in and removed from the account.
