ATTENTION ALL TEACHERS!!  
I know we have told you how much we love ESGI, and this is just another reason why we LOVE this company SO much!  They support teachers, and they truly care about making our jobs easier!  Check out what they are doing...

During this difficult time, ESGI is giving free access to parents and caregivers to support teachers with at-home learning.  This opens up the opportunity for teachers to work alongside parents and caregivers at home and support the digital learning platform that we are all using during this time. These parent At-Home accounts will not have access to your teacher account or affect your data.  Any adult can administer the skills review from an internet connected device! It’s as easy as CLICK, CLICK, DONE!

When students come back to school you will be ready to hit the ground running! 
Follow the steps below to get started:
Step 1: Sign up today for an EXTENDED FREE TRIAL using promo code GLITTERWILD at www.esgisoftware.com
 
Step 2: Look for an ESGI email to follow with more information on At-Home accounts!
Teachers that register for a new trial will automatically be entered for the following:

We are hootin' and hollerin' about the Awesome Parent Letters ESGI offers to teachers and parents! You can print out a parent report for one student or for your entire class with only 2 clicks!  These parent letters highlight what skills each student knows and doesn't know, AND they can be printed in English or Spanish. There is also an option to print flashcards to attach to the letter!  

You can download them as a Word document to customize the letter to meet your needs.  If you want to type suggestions for the parents to use at home, words of praise, or a date of the next assessment, then you can simply do this in a Word document!  It is so simple, easy, and saves TONS of time!  

What have you got to lose by signing up and giving it a go?

ESGI always has these two Glitter Girls hootin' and hollerin'!  We are hootin' because it always save us so much time in our classrooms and give us SO much information to use with parents and for ourselves!  We are hollerin' because we are now officially "Friends of ESGI"!!  We are so honored and blessed to be affiliated with this awesome company!  We honestly cannot express how much this simple assessment tool has changed our lives!  

We use it to assess sight words biweekly, to assess report cards every 9 weeks, for progress monitoring, and to keep parents informed on their child's progress.  ESGI just makes our teacher hearts glow with excitement and joy because it truly has been a lifesaver for us in so many ways!   We have used ESGI in our classroom for 7 years now. It has saved us countless hours and millions of trees. We honestly do not know how we fit everything in before we discovered this online assessment tool. We would spend days, sometimes weeks, assessing just to repeat the process again in a few short weeks...it was a never ending cycle! Those days are over thanks to ESGI!!  Now we can test and get immediate results in the classroom, AND we can give parents immediate results. If you are looking for ways to maximize your instructional time, then ESGI is for YOU!   

There are hundreds of assessments for you to choose from, or you can create your own.  If you are a kindergarten teacher in Mississippi, then we have some awesome news for you!! Kinder Glitter Girls has done the work for you. You read that right! We have now created assessments that you can access on ESGI!!! How cool is that!! These assessments align with every Mississippi Kindergarten Standard (MCCRS). Click the link below to see a list of the assessments that we have personally created to help our fellow kinder colleagues quickly assess their students, so they can spend more time focusing on growing their students.
