4th grade Growth Measure Assessment The Growth Measure Assessment window will close September 30th. During that time period, EVERY 4th grader in your building needs to have taken the assessment. This includes students who are absent the day that you give it to a specific class so be sure that you keep track and get those who have missed the assessment at another time. Point your students to the following short URL www.tinyurl.com/4thgrowth *** Also it’s extremely important that your students get their student number correct.

Gmail and Google Calendar Migration On September 26th, all librarians in the district will be part of the first mass migration to Gmail and Calendar along with a handful of buildings. Thus far, only a small pilot group has been moved over to the new system but it has gone well. The rest of the district will be moved at towards the end of this year or the beginning of next year. As a Future Ready librarian, you will get early access to this system in preparation for the rest of the district's migration.Here are some things that you should know: All email that is currently in Gmail will be deleted before September 26th. Over the past 2 years, all email that has been sent to your @parkwayschools.net account has been being delivered to both Groupwise and Gmail. This will allow you to "start fresh" with Gmail. All email that is currently in your Groupwise account will be transferred over to Gmail. This will include all of your folders and the email in those folders. What it won't include is your archived emails that are stored on your computer. Directions on how to get that information in your new Gmail account will come. Your main Groupwise calendar and all appointments on it will be moved over to Google Calendar at that time. There are resources available at pkwy.info/parkwaygmail that will help guide you as you learn this new system. Additionally, the help desk is available to help as you need it. As always, you can contact myself, Kim or Amy as you work through this transition.
