Staff NAT Testing Requirements

Hello All,

All staff are currently required to receive two NAT tests between Monday and Friday. This means a combination of the Monday all-school test and one other.

The second test can be done at school, in our communities, or a clinic. Testing at school is scheduled each Monday from 8:30-10:30am and 8:30am-9:30am each day. The usual location will be the PAC Foyer, except on Fridays when it will be held in the EY Cafeteria. Staff are welcome to drop in during any of these times for a quick test.

Please see Kasson with questions. Many thanks.

CIS Committee Chairpersons

One benefit of our CIS/WASC/IB self-study is the leadership opportunities the school improvement process provides. Our self-study will require a number of domain chairpersons who take the lead in facilitating the work of domain-specific committees. The work of the committee chair is below:

  • become familiar with sections of the process relevant to the committee’s domain, 
  • become familiar with the Planning & Reporting Platform, 
  • review the Preparatory report and identifying progress on recommendations, 
  • collect the data and analysis from Part 1 and Domain A of the Self-study report, 
  • assign responsibility for entering the response and uploading evidence, and 
  • assign responsibility for reviewing the final draft for coherence and spelling/grammar.

If you are interested in becoming a self study committee chair, please contact Kasson by the end of business on Wednesday, September 21st. Many thanks!
