Hi All,

It was great getting to see everyone last week and I hope you all were able to enjoy your labor day weekend without having to go into school. Three items of note for this week:

• easyCBM Testing Data Entry & Testing – The testing window for easyCBM runs from 9/9 – 10/6. For the one-on-one tests, if you would like help entering these scores, please give those tests to me no later than Wednesday, September 29th. And as I said in last week’s announcements, testing will be the same as last year. Release time is available to teacher to administer the test if you would like. Select “easyCBM” in AESOP if you are ordering a sub for this purpose. And everything you ever wanted to know about easyCBM testing can be found on this website http://www.4j.lane.edu/testing/easycbmdistrictassessment
• Atomic Learning and Beyond – Need to find out how to do something technical? Check out Atomic Learning! We have an online subscription that covers all employees. Atomic Learning has online videos and other step-by-step directions on how to do so many things! Your user name is your complete 4J e-mail address including the @4j.lane.edu. Your password is the first two letters of your last name, with the first letter capitalized followed by your six-digit employee number. Here is the link to the 4J page that covers Atomic Learning and other online subscriptions that we often forget to utilize. http://www.4j.lane.edu/tilt/onlinesubscriptions
• EEF Grants Deadline 10/3 – All EEF grant proposals must reach eef@4j.lane.edu before midnight, Sunday October 3, 2010. Click on the link below for more information.

Have a great first week with students!
