Dear EPS Families,
We are writing to you to share information regarding our upcoming math and reading assessments. These assessments are used to plan individual instruction for students. We want our students to do their best work (they will not know all the answers) so that we get an accurate assessment of their skills and needs.
You will be receiving communication from your child’s teacher regarding dates and login information.
Please do the following:
- View the i-Ready student-centered video (with your child).
- View the i-Ready family-centered video.
- For K-5, view the “How to Log-in to i-Ready through Clever on your iPad” video. If you don't have the QR code you can access Clever through the iPad app by choosing “Log in with username/password” and use the student’s Office 365 account information.
Thank you,
Jason Lamesa, Math Coordinator
Adrienne Snow, Reading Coordinator
If you have questions about the math assessment, please reach out to Jason LaMesa atjlamesa@enfieldschools.org or (860) 253-6553.
If you have questions about the reading assessment, please reach out to Adrienne Snow atasnow@enfieldschools.org or (860) 306-9533.

Eli Whitney News & Notes - Whitney Wolves Weekly Update 9.11.20
------
September 10, 2020
Dear Parents and families,
An iPad in the hands of every student here in Enfield is an incredible opportunity and a bright spot that has come out of the last six months. Enfield's 1:1 device initiative is an interactive opportunity for students to engage in live and remote instruction delivered by their classroom teachers. Like many initiatives, there are challenges, and distribution and setup are among them.
If you still need to pick up your child's iPad, we have a couple of different options to offer:
1) You may set up an appointment to pick up the iPad during the school day by calling the main office. Mrs. Souer and Mrs. Lawlor will be happy to assist you.
2) We will send your child's iPad home with them at the end of the day if you send in a completed Technology Loss/Damage Waiver with your child. We can only do so if the waiver is complete and submitted. The waiver is on the last page of the Technology Handbook, which can be found here: http://www.enfieldschools.org/tech_support/handbook2
If you are still having difficulty setting up your student's iPad and need help, please contact EdTechHelp@enfieldschools.org

We look forward to seeing you this week.

Similar to APP updates on your phones, the APPs we use for distance learning also require occasional updates. If you are not using the most #UpToDate versions of certain APPs, it can (on occasion) cause an issue with completing, or submitting, some schoolwork/assignments. *It's a good idea to check for updates regularly.
