• I did not get copies of everyones Quarterly Exams.  Please get them to me before the end of the day
• I created a separate page on this blog to keep everyone updated on AchieveNJ.  Recently the Dept of Ed released additional resources related to the "Student Growth Objectives" (SGO) that all teachers will need to create.  As new resources become available, I will be posting them here.   On April 11, I will be attending an information session on AchieveNJ, sponsored by the NJ Dept of Education.   I hope to be able to clarify any questions you may have after April 11.
