Cardinal Courier: February 18th
Where Learning Takes Flight
A Note from Mrs. Tallent
Friendship Parties were a hit! We loved seeing all the smiling faces and excitement! Yesterday, students got to watch the "Be You" hip hop group! The performance encouraged students to aim for positive goals and reach their dreams even in the face of adversity. A huge thank you to our PTO and our PTO Cultural Arts Coordinator for supporting us and providing this opportunity for our students!
Please remember there is no school on Monday, Feb. 20th and Spring/Group Pictures will take place on Tuesday! Also next week, our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will begin taking their MOCK STAAR test. This allows students an opportunity to experience the online platform and gives our teachers information to guide our instruction. Please reassure students that this is just like any other test they take in class, and all we want is for them to try their best! It is not about what score they get or if they pass. It is a tool for us to use to guide our instruction and make small groups as we work to ensure that our students have mastered the TEKs.
We are also looking forward to the PTO Havana Nights Fundraiser next Saturday! It is an adults only event and is sure to be a good time! If you haven't purchased a ticket, please see the information below and get your tickets now!!! We look forward to seeing you there!
