Learner Profile SIP Data Collection

 As part of our ongoing SIP data collection process, we will be collecting Learner Profile data from February 7th- February 18th. Our Spring data is collected by the end of February each year in order to process the data in time for any summative evaluations (both teacher and administration) that need to be completed.

Please print this paper version for your k-3 students to complete. Completed forms can be sent to Sarah Mumm by Monday, February 22nd.

This link, https://kaneland.instructure.com/enroll/WKRTM7 will be shared with all 4th-12th grade students through Canvas at 8am on Monday, February 7th. Please be sure to remind your students to look for the link.
Please remind students to accept the course through this link above, select assignment, and start assignment.  

Thank you for all your hard work in supporting student reflection and advocacy.

Summer Professional Development Planning

The Ed Services Department has received a great deal of input regarding professional development topics staff are interested in engaging with over the summer, and are currently working to determine what our specific offerings will be. We do plan to offer both face-to-face and virtual formats. To support our planning, we'd like to learn more about which dates and times work best for staff. Please complete this FORM indicating which dates/times of day would work best for you. 

SEL Spring SIP Data Collection

 Starting on Monday February 14th to Friday February 18th we will be asking students to complete the post SEL SIP data relfection form.  This process includes a google form link for 4th to 12th grade and will be sent directly to the 4th to 12th grade students in an email.  Please remind them to check thier email and complete the form within the week next week.  Here is the 4th to 12th grade link if you would like to also share it with students.  Third grade teachers if you feel your students would rather complete the assessment using this link you may also share it with them starting Monday.
