The following tips are useful for finding students quickly.

• In the transfer students section, make sure you set school to “all schools in district”-this searches all the various names for our school which have been entered over the years.
• Suggest searching each of last years’ teachers of the year before in turn, plus the EAL advanced teacher-in this way you will find all your students except the new ones. Don’t search for individual students.
• New students should be added using the “add students” option.

• Here is a list of last year’s teachers for the above process:SH-PD-ECE-PRI-Staff-List-2018-19-4
• Here is a list of where EAL students were last year and who their teachers were:EAL CLASS LISTS 2018-2019[2]
• Once the student is added to your roster, please confirm their PM Level from your assessment data and assign each student to the RAZ Kids Level (A-Z) using the correlation chart.  For example a student who has achieved PM Level 21, should be assigned to RAZ Kids Level L/M.  Any student who is working at PM Level 30 or below should be assigned to RAZ Kids.  Once they complete PM Level 30, RAZ Kids Level Z, they will no longer use RAZ Kids.  Reading Correlation Chart
• Use the function in Raz Kids to print the students’ user name and password, and paste this in the front of the students’ diary
• Please ask me if you or your team want a full refresher or introduction on how to use Raz Kids-I am happy to do this.
• Please ask me if you need your user name and password from last year

Dear Co-Teachers,

As last year, we will give an individualised award to every student which celebrates an area they have tried hard or excelled at over the year.

With this in mind, we have prepared the award template. These awards should be shared at class parties in the last week. You will find the templates for these certificates below (separate templates for RP and CP)

Action points

• Create a certificate for each student with their name and the reason for their award, by changing the names and reason currently on the template. You will need to work with co-teachers, specialists and EAL teachers (if relevant and necessary) to find an appropriate reason. You can use the comments from the specialists for the reports to help you.
• Make sure you insert both co-teachers’ names at the bottom of the certificate, and change the class name in the middle.
• Please ensure that the reason for the certificate starts with “For….”.
  E.G: For always being willing to ask for help when she needs it
• The reason should be appropriate and reflect something positive they have done or worked at this year. A set of sample reasons is attached for your reference below.
• The reason should not be “jokey”-e.g “For being the biggest chatterbox”. Find something genuine to celebrate.
• Please give an individualised reason for each student.
• Once you have typed up your certificates, send a soft copy of them to one of your colleagues to proofread. Please ensure you do not send certificates home with any errors or typos.
• Please email your certificates to Helen/Elia and ask them to print these certificates once they are completed. Please do this by Wednesday 19th June. You should consolidate the certificates into one file.
• Give the certificates out at your party.
