Some Things from Janet

1.       There’s a copy of the Fall senior newsletter (orange paper) on the side of the file cabinet.

2.       Interesting article I brought home (from the paper where I used to work) about Programs being developed to help autistic students transition to college. On white board up front. Or, here’s the link http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/health/autism-spectrum-college.html?_r=0

3.       Info about financial aid and undocumented students, and FAQs for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. On desk by front computer.

4.       Bit by bit I’m getting answers to how the Smarter Balanced test scores translate to substitute for a placement test at community colleges. When I get a fuller view, I’ll ‘splain.

5.       One thing I know is that for kids going to community college, thy will need to know their Smarter Balanced State Test Scores (formerly called Oaks). I have access to that info; so if you have students headed that direction, please let me know their names. This info, will of course be strictly confidential.
