October 14 – November 2Choice Hour will continue virtually for the remainder of Quarter I (through Nov 2). No new choice hours are starting right now – students are still taking their Quarter I Choice Hours. For 3-4 students in Cohort B who may miss choice hour due to taking the bus or traveling home for the remaining 2.5 weeks, asynchronous participation will be encouraged. If you have not heard from your teacher regarding asynchronous material, you are encouraged to reach out to the Choice Hour teacher to inform them that your student will be missing and to inquire what they could do.

November 2 – January 15

Choice Hour Quarter II will be offered daily at two different time slots: 10:50am-11:30pm and 3:25-4:10pm. All Choice Hour will be offered virtually. The course offerings will be outlined in the Choice Hour Booklets when they are released later in October. The course descriptions will include information on which time slot the class is offered. Offerings will NOT necessarily be the same in each time slot on a given day. All students (regardless of cohort or if they are virtual) can sign up for Choice Hour in either time slot daily, but not both in one day. This flexibility is meant to offer all of our students the option to choose the time slot that works best for them on any given day. Students can enroll in one time slot one day, and the other one the next day.

Examples of participation might include:

A student in the PM cohort might prefer the morning time slot of Choice Hour since they will be traveling home on the bus or in the car during the PM Choice Hour time slot.

Virtual Students might prefer the morning time slot in order to help fill time during the break.

Choice Hour Updates:

Please direct all Choice Hour questions to Courtney Bassett at cbassett@birmingham.k12.mi.us

October 14 – November 2Choice Hour will continue virtually for the remainder of Quarter I (through Nov 2). No new choice hours are starting right now – students are still taking their Quarter I Choice Hours. For 3-4 students in Cohort B who may miss choice hour due to taking the bus or traveling home for the remaining 2.5 weeks, asynchronous participation will be encouraged. If you have not heard from your teacher regarding asynchronous material, you are encouraged to reach out to the Choice Hour teacher to inform them that your student will be missing and to inquire what they could do. As a reminder, view your students schedules on the Choice Hour Schedules doc and find the zoom links on the Choice Hour Zoom Links doc.

November 2 – January 15

Choice Hour Quarter II will be offered daily at two different time slots: 10:50am-11:30pm and 3:25-4:10pm. All Choice Hour will be offered virtually. The course offerings will be outlined in the Choice Hour Booklets when they are released later in October. The course descriptions will include information on which time slot the class is offered. Offerings will NOT necessarily be the same in each time slot on a given day. All students (regardless of cohort or if they are virtual) can sign up for Choice Hour in either time slot daily, but not both in one day. This flexibility is meant to offer all of our students the option to choose the time slot that works best for them on any given day. Students can enroll in one time slot one day, and the other one the next day.

Examples of participation might include:

A student in the PM cohort might prefer the morning time slot of Choice Hour since they will be traveling home on the bus or in the car during the PM Choice Hour time slot.

Virtual Students might prefer the morning time slot in order to help fill time during the break. 

AM cohort students might prefer the PM Choice Hour Time Slot because they will be traveling during the AM Choice Hour time slot.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) morning during math class, our students will be taking the NWEA reading or math test starting at 8:15.  If your child is at home during this time, we desperately need you to take care of this checklist before we begin.  Hearing from other teachers, if you go through this checklist, it is much easier to give this assessment remotely.  #3 in particular is supposed to be important for settings.

Thank you for your help in preparing the kids for this assessment!

Test Preparation
Prior to Test Day	Test Day
Make sure your Chromebook, laptop, iPad, or desktop has an internet connection. Disable Pop-up blocking on your internet browser. Make sure your device meets testing requirements using the Device Readiness Check. This NWEA Reference & Troubleshooting presentation may be helpful. Make sure your child has headphones and check that the sound works. Watch the MAP Growth introduction video. Practice the test at practice.mapnwea.org (username: grow, password: grow) If you are experiencing difficulties with these instructions, please reach out to your building’s Instructional Specialist.	Teachers will be proctoring the testing session. At home instructions include: Provide a quiet testing environment and minimize distractions as much as possible. Stay logged into your teacher’s Zoom class. Using another browser tab, visit the website test.mapnwea.org. Enter the session name and password that you teacher gives you. Choose your name and verify the test selected. Click yes if information is correct. Wait for you teacher to confirm your test. Remain on the Zoom with your teacher/proctor during the test. Follow additional instructions from your teacher/proctor.
