• Mission Statement: Konnoak Elementary School will provide a quality education in a nurturing environment that will develop each child’s potential and promote life-long learning.
• Vision Statement: Students will learn and succeed in a safe, engaging, and caring climate of high expectations and supportive relationships
• Please make sure that you limit videos and coloring over the next few days. Please continue to instruct your students over the next 19 days!
• If you show a video, make sure that you follow the proper procedures. I need to approve any video that you show that is not part of the media center
• Today begins the process that the entire year has pointed to. You have all worked hard and supported our students. Now they have to stand on their own feet and show what they know. Please do a sweep of your rooms. Remove all essential questions; problems you've worked out on the board; items on bulletin boards that have anything to do with reading, math, or science (fifth only). If you are in doubt, take it down.
• Please remember the following:
• Staff members, whether administrators or proctors, should turn off all cell phones and they should remain off until the test is complete and the materials have been turned in to Mrs. Autry.
• All materials on walls must be covered and/or taken down
•  Both the administrator and proctor must be circulating throughout the entire room continuously during the test
• Administrators and proctors cannot bring food, drinks, books or magazines to eat/read during the administration of the test
• Students with accommodations must be monitored to determine if they are, in fact, using the accommodations. The results of their monitoring must be entered on the Accommodation Monitoring forms for each students
• NCDPI and the WS/FCS Testing and Accountability Department will be conducting audits in the schools to ensure that testing is being done according to the manual. Therefore, do not deviate from the manual.
•  Make sure that when you write the time you begin testing; the duration of the test; and the times for breaks and/or the end of the test are clearly visible to the students and from the door to your classroom. We check these times throughout the test and need to be able to see them clearly from the door. Please check your time calculations.
• When in doubt ASK. We want to avoid testing irregularities and misadministrations. Therefore, ASK before you act.
• As of yesterday morning, Konnoak had only 5 parents respond to the WS/FCS Parent Survey on-line. The highest elementary school had only 12. Many schools were not listed since they had no responses.Most schools had 1-3. Ms. McCoy is working on getting more participants.
