A Message from your Principal
All students will be taking the Math STAAR on Tuesday May 10th (except for our Algebra students who have already taken their EOC test will have alternate activities) and the Reading STAAR on Wednesday May 11th! Please make sure students are on campus prior to 8:30 am to get breakfast and to their testing locations so they can do their best! Since all testing is online this school year is online, we need to get all of the chrome books ready for testing. If you still have any chrome books or chargers at home please send them to school on MONDAY!!!! Thank you
STAAR/EOC Testing Calendar
May 10 - 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Math STAAR

A Zachry Tradition returns with the Zachry Hall of Fame on Friday, May 13th. You may have seen the pictures of Zachry Alumni in our hallway outside the counselors' offices. These individuals were nominated each year, through our website. The events committee contacts the nominees and invites them to talk with our students about what life was like for them at Zachry MS and what they are doing now! Our 6th graders will be in the audience and 7th and 8th graders will be viewing streaming from their classrooms. This is always a special event.
Also on Friday we will be inducting our 6th, 7th and 8th graders into our Zachry National Junior Honor Society. There are many requirements to be invited and to be selected for this prestigious group. Students may meet the requirements in any of these three grade levels.
We look forward to honoring these students academic, citizenship and community service as they are inducted. The application process happens each spring.
Soccer Games this week for Zachry 7th and 8th grade Boys and Girls on Friday against Jordan MS (Boys will be at Zachry MS and Girls at Jordan MS). Please purchase your tickets online with the App below for the season or individual games. No tickets will be sold at the gate, but do bring your dollars for our concession stand that supports our campus events such as the 8th grade Field Day. (Also see the Athletics popcorn fundraiser which will support our summer camp.)
PLEASE Continue to contact our nurse, Nichole Arias at Nichole.Arias@nisd.net if you have a question, your child has COVID symptoms, or you are not sure so she can guide you with the CDC and Metropolitan Health Department guidelines. Please know that a student must be fever free for 24 hours (as always) to return to school. When you have spoken to our nurse, and it is determined your student must be out of school, our Academic Dean or Student Success Facilitator will send through your student's email the links for remote conferencing during the designated time.
Take a look at next week's calendar.
