STAAR week has arrived and there will be many changes that will take place this week that we would like you to be aware of. First off, there will be no assigned HW for the entire week. Of course we would like to encourage you to continue to read nightly with your child and stay on top of Math Facts so that next week's scores do not suffer!

This will be our pep rally day! It's so important that your child be present today at school so we can have one more opportunity to give clear and concise directions for the state test. Your child will not be switching classes for the next two days (Tues and Wed).
Tuesday, April 23
The Math STAAR test will be given Tuesday morning. Students will need to arrive at school on time, (7:50am) having had a nutritious breakfast. The school will provide snacks and a water bottle for each student during the test. The reasoning behind the school providing the snack is that we need to keep the testing area clean and free of Cheetos cheese! If your child wears glasses it is IMPERATIVE that he or she brings them to school that morning. Students will be given four hours to complete the test. We have modified our schedules to meet this state requirement. Lunch will be at 12:45. Specials will be at 1:15. For homework this evening, students will also need to have a good night’s rest.

This day will be a normal school day! Any students that were absent on either Tuesday or Wednesday will be making up the test today.
Friday, April 26
Friday is our annual BIKE or CARPOOL to school day. We are asking kids to help do their part to reduce pollution. If possible, please help your student bike to school. If this is not possible, carpooling and riding the bus to school is another way to help reduce emissions and take care of our environment.
Thank you for all your hard work, cooperation, and support this year!
