Kinder and 1st Grade Fluency Tracker Template

We will be using ESGI to track student proficiency as a District. We did create a sheet that can help you track student fluency levels while automatically showing if they are Proficient, Approaching, or Beginning. 

 

This sheet is not required in any way, just a resource for PLCs or a teacher if they would find it helpful.

Where to Find the Fluency Tracker Template- 1.5 min video

Using the Fluency Sheets- 3 min video




Elementary Report Card Drafts

Elementary teachers, we wanted to give one more reminder to please review the drafts your grade level report card. If you see something that needs to be updated (grammar, format, etc,), please fill out the form below. Once we receive the feedback we will get it translated into Spanish and have the report cards uploaded into PowerSchool before Tri 1 Report Cards are due. All comments will be on the back page (not by subject), as that allows all grades to be on first page. Please submit any feedback by 9/14.

Elementary Report Card Draft 23/24, Version 2 - This folder has the draft report cards.
