Principal Batten's Weekly Message
Happy Mother's Day!
This week we begin EOG/EOC testing for those students with IEP, 504, and LEP testing accommodations. As most V3A staff will be involved in testing, we will not follow our regular Zoom schedule. Students not testing should be completing asynchronous assignments and attending any EOG/EOG Zoom review sessions. Canvas is still not available due to a cybersecurity incident that is affecting Canvas access worldwide. Students should check their emails for information from their teachers about how to complete Q4 assignments.
Students should complete the respective Middle School (MS) or High School (HS) daily attendance Google Form by 1:00 pm to make sure that they are counted as present each day.
Students with IEP, 504, or LEP testing accommodations should arrive at V3A at 8am for EOG/EOC testing, which start this week. Make sure to get a good night's sleep so that your a rested and prepared for your EOG/EOC. Breakfast will be available. Students needing bus transportation should sign up by at least 12:00 noon the day before: https://v3a.online/bus
Students should bring the following to testing:
- Charged laptop
- Charger
Reminder that Q3 report cards can be picked up at V3A from 9am - 4pm.
