ESOL Technology
From Kristen Scott
Principals,
If you have technology that was purchased by ESL funds in the past that you are wanting to get rid of, please fill out a work order and have it sent to our department at the Central Office. Many of you have reached out to me about the Smart Boards, I-Touch devices and such that you are not using due to the new technology provided by the district.
We would need for this equipment to be sent to us by no later than the end of this month. After that we will not be collecting it and it will remain in your building.
If you have questions or concerns please email me.
Student Trip Funding
From Dr. Kelli Mather
Student trips will only be funded by the District if the student(s) earned admittance by taking part in a KSHSAA sponsored competition or event.
If the student(s) did not advance to a competition or event through KSHSAA, the trip will not be funded by the District.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
FAS Work Day Expectations
From Executive Directors
As you plan for your FAS days this year, please note that it is an expectation that staff will still work their required number of hours, per their job description, on both Thursday, October 27th and Friday, February 10, 2017. For example, teachers will work an eight hour day on each date.
In consideration of the needs of your families, you may identify the need to have evening opportunities and therefore we encourage you to consider using your available evenings that you can require teachers to stay late.
If you have additional questions, please contact your Executive Director.
ELPA21 Results-Update
From Kristen Scott
Administrators,
The following information was emailed to your ESL staff:
I wanted to update all of you concerning information I learned today in the monthly ESOL webinar put on by the state.
Cut scores and performance categories were approved by the ELPA21 Consortium and sent to Questar yesterday. Questar now has to put that information into all of the testing data on individual students; once that is done the data will be sent to CETE. Once CETE has all of the information uploaded and configured the data will be released to KSDE. So what that all means now is that it might be November until we get the results.
Please remember that for students who were with us and already had an ILP, we are continuing with that ILP. You are creating new ILPs for any new student into our system.
If I am notified that this may change I will let you all know. Until then if you have any questions please let me know.
