In the schedule, I have indicated which lab you are to use.  All teachers go in and follow the instructions (see department chairs), print a class list of usernames and passwords just in case some students forget. However, it is more manageable for teachers to give them a letter, than to have one teacher having to call out passwords for all students. Use your teacher copy only as assistance for those who don't remember to bring their letters/login information.  
Thanks in advance, Miss Monroe

12. After Testing Print ZPD/Lexile Report
