Lots of Doo Dads

Thank you for creating such a warm welcome and smooth transition for our beautiful little learners! 

Fall Assessment Window

Grades K-5

• 9/6/22 - 9/16/22 - NWEA MAP testing is set up and ready to go.  Teachers should be able to login and give tests.  NWEA MAP Growth Proctoring - K-5 - this guide may be helpful
• 9/6/22 - 9/16/22 - Delta Math should be set up for teachers to give the Fall screener.  Delta Math Teacher Preparation Instructions.  I received this note from the ISD about Delta Math:

Educators that had the building admin role last year can sign into the Data Manager and connect their building to their account so that they can help teachers prepare for screening.  If any educators need their usernames and passwords please ask them to submit a Help Request at https://www.oaisd.org/deltamath/information-and-support/contact-us/ and I will send them their information.

• Teachers please check over both testing spaces before 9/6/22 and make sure all is correct and all students are showing.  Sometimes new students and students who change classrooms need to be added or adjusted where they show up.  If there are any changes needed let Dan Vos know.

Administrative Support

Kristi Washburn and Cara Boss are the administrative team supporting all things Forest! Kwashburn@hollandchristian.org and cboss@hollandchristian.org are the best way to get in touch with them. They're eager to support our work!
