QPR Training:

Please... monitor your students carefully during QPR training.  If they are being rude, they should be removed and sent to the office.  It would help a lot if you set some expectations with them prior to going to the library. This is an important issue for our community and I expect the students to behave appropriately during the presentation.  

PSAT's

Following is an update on PSAT information for Wednesday.  Hopefully, this information will be sufficient without a meeting.  However, we can meet after school on Tuesday, if necessary.

1.  Here are the class lists
2.  On Tuesday afternoon, the class lists will be printed and placed outside classrooms
3. On Wednesday morning, Amy will deliver the instruction book, a list of instructions, class books, pencils etc. to each classroom.
4. Here is a link to instructions, in case you like to see them early.
5. I'm sorry if you have to test in a room that isn't yours.  There are strict requirements for rooms.
6. If you have a room that is testing, please 
1. make sure all tables or desks are facing the white board.  
2. Make sure all the relevant information is on the board (see instructions for more information).  
3. During the test, times need to be written clearly on the board.  
4. All academic posters etc. should be covered or taken down during the test. Someone from the DO will also go through the building to ensure rooms are following the guidelines.  
5. Please spell Coeur d'Alene correctly on the board  
7. Please do not work on your computers etc. while proctoring.  All proctors should be paying close attention to students throughout the test.
8. On the day of the test, please read all instructions verbatim directly from the script.
9. During break times, please lock your room or stay with testing materials.
10. At the end of the test, count to be sure all materials are accounted for and return materials to the office.
