Next week, we will begin our first round of STAAR testing. On Tuesday, the tests are 5th and 8th grade Math, and 7th grade Writing. On Wednesday, the tests are 5th and 8th grade Reading. The other subjects will test in May. We always recommend that students are well-rested and get a good breakfast, especially on testing days. Breakfast will be provided at no cost to students on testing days, so consider that option if needed. Students will also need to bring a book to read after the tests. No electronic book sources are allowed! The testing rosters are posted by the front office, and each teacher is also notifying students of their testing locations. Below is the schedule for our testing days:
5th/6th Test: 8:50 - 12:20
5th/6th Lunch: 12:25 - 12:55
5th/6th Test: 1:00 - 1:30
7th/8th Test: 8:50 - 11:40
7th/8th Lunch: 11:45 - 12:15
7th/8th Test: 12:20 - 1:30
**Students will resume a regular class schedule after testing concludes
This week's attendance rate...
Our LVMS campus goal is to reach 98%!!
This week's attendance rate = 96% (Three weeks in a row)
Attendance: Spring is the time of the year when absences start to pile up. Be sure you are aware of the consequences for your student missing too much school. Our campus goal is to reach 98%. If a student is at school, we receive funding for that student. If they are not in school, we do not receive funding.
Weird, but true, attendance fact: If your student is present for any part of the school day and leaves for a medical appointment, they won't get counted absent for that day as long as they bring a doctor's note. If they are absent for the entire day for a doctor's appointment, it will be counted as an absence.
If you need to talk to us about your child's attendance, including absences, doctor's notes, students needing to leave school early, please call our attendance clerk,monica_kaiser@lagovista.txed.net, 512-267-8300 #2503.
no after school clubs next week!
no 5th grade gt next tuesday and wednesday
