Spotlight on General School Assistants (GSAs)
|
Each week we highlight feedback from our teachers and families about the support they receive from our General School Assistants (GSAs). 4th grade teacher Ms. Morel copied us on a note of thanks she sent to one of our GSAs:
|
Hi Kelley, I am SO thankful you made the Unit 4 math test A into a Forms! I normally use ThinkCentral, but now ThinkCentral is blocked from Adobe and kids can’t use it without Adobe running it. I panicked since I didn’t have another option, but was relieved to find the Forms as a plan B, so thank you! I will plan on having my students use the Forms for all future tests given that Adobe doesn’t work
|
|
Did you know our biggest investment as a PTSA is funding more General School Assistants to help our teachers and students? Funding comes from parents and community members, through direct donations, corporate matching, and opportunities like Amazon Smile and "Give with Bing". Read more about GSAs on the PTSA website!
