Permenter Longhorn Check-In
Week of May 1 - May 5, 2023
A Note from the Principal:
There are only 4 weeks left of school and each of those weeks are critical. There are no "free days" or "free periods" as every moment in an instructional setting is paramount.
This week we are on legs 2 and 3 of our relay in the Radical Sprint to increased academic achievement. Our science teachers have prepared a science boot camp for all 8th grade students to engage Monday, May 1st in anticipation of their STAAR test Tuesday. Our social studies teachers have prepared a May Madness style review for all 8th grade scholars to engage Wednesday, May 3rd in anticipation of their STAAR test Thursday.
We will repeat the success for all of our scholars on May 8th to prepare for their math STAAR test which will be administered May 9th.
Our campus is closed on all testing dates and we will be a closed campus the last 2 weeks of school as well.
Many thanks to our NJHS and Student Council members and sponsors Mrs. Gilmore and Mrs. Hale for sponsoring a fantastic National Student Leadership Week. The week featured not only fun and purposeful themed attire each day, but helpful leadership tips shared daily on the announcements by students along with a beautiful hallway showcasing student leaders on campus. Another thanks to all families that attending the CHISD STEM family night. It was a joy seeing so many students and families in attendance.
