Time-Sensitive
Communication
In the event that we need to get time sensitive or urgent information to you such as school cancellation, early dismissal, delays, double bus runs, etc. I will be using Blackboard Connect texting feature. This feature goes to the primary/priority 1 household phone number that is listed in Infinite Campus. I sent a text out the day prior to the first day of school, Tuesday, August 13th around 8:00 p.m. If you did not receive this, please check your demographic information in Infinite Campus-Parent Portal to ensure we have the most up-to-date contact information. For questions about activating your parent portal, email Ms. Holly Staton.

CERT Testing
Early in 2013, ePrep developed CERT, an online assessment product that provides administrators, teachers, parents, and students with the information they need to maximize career and college opportunities for students. In order to accomplish its goal of providing assessment reports that are both incredibly detailed and easy to understand, ePrep sought the guidance of Kentucky principals and teachers.
In the summer of 2013, ePrep released CERT, the College Equipped Readiness Tool.
Here are just a few features that make CERT the only assessment tool of its kind:
CERT allows schools to assess students through either online or offline test administrations. Furthermore:
- All CERT tests are age appropriate and aligned with the Career and College Readiness Standards
- All CERT tests cover the content areas included in the ACT: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science
- All CERT tests match the format (i.e., # of questions, question types, difficulty level, timing, etc.) of the current ACT, PLAN, and EXPLORE tests
CERT provides valuable data to EVERY stakeholder. Students, Teachers, Principals, and Superintendents can, as appropriate, access reports on:
- Individual and group composite performance
- Individual and group performance by subject area (English, Mathematics, Reading, or Science)
- Individual and group performance on three levels of the Career and College Readiness Standards
- Individual and group performance on subject-specific content that is organized using language that is generally familiar to students and teachers
In addition to its assessment functionality, CERT provides remedial instruction to students through researched-based, instructional video lessons. Lessons can be accessed via:
- An online Exam Room that provides each student performance feedback and video answer explanations for each and every test question
- An online Study Hall that recommends subject-matter and strategy video lessons based on each individual student's performance
CERT quickly gained statewide popularity in Kentucky upon its release as an interim assessment tool, and it has continued to attract new users throughout the United States. Here is a link to a 3 minute video of its potential.
This will be a valuable tool for students, parents and teachers. This is accessible online anywhere so students can also
reinforce skills needed to improve on at home in addition to teachers using this in the classroom. The first assessment in September will be all content areas (English, Math, Science and Reading)-nearly 4 hours. The mid-year assessment will only be English, Reading and Math for those students that are predicted to fall below benchmark on the ACT. The end of the year assessment will be the same as the mid-year as far as who and what content. This will give us the data and resources to help our students grow throughout the school year.
Diagnostic testing will occur August 23rd in periods 1,3 and 5 and August 26th in periods 2,4 and 6. through English, Science, Math and Social Studies classes.
Teachers and students will have access to practice tests, quizzes, etc. until the mid November.
Students will take a mid-year test the first of December and after this will have access again to practice tests, quizzes, etc. to help them for the spring diagnostic.

Canvas App
All our teachers are utilizing a learning management system called Canvas. There is a Canvas App that students can download or it can be accessed via
boone.instructure.com
. A student's username is their first name.last name @stu.boone.kyschools.us and their password is a 4 digit number they enter twice e.g. 20192019.
There is also a Canvas Parent Portal App which allows parents to view student courses, grades, assignments, and events, and to set alerts for specific assignments and grade activities. Parents can use the Canvas Parent app on all iOS and Android devices.
A website describing the Canvas Parent App has been created. (Click below)
Canvas Parent App Website
This site contains a video which will guide parents on the installation and usage of the app. In order to complete the setup of the app, parents will need to obtain their student's login (how he/she accesses Canvas) from your student.
If you have questions about Canvas or the Canvas Parent Portal App, please e-mail our instructional coach -
Ms Wanda Battaglia
