"A Busy Week Ahead"
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week, your child will participate in Practice STAAR (PSTAAR) testing in Math and Reading. The Practice STAAR tests are actual STAAR tests that have been administered in previous years. These tests give us an opportunity to see how our children will perform on STAAR in a few weeks. We will use these PSTAAR data to identify students who may need to participate in interventions and Saturday School.
To support your child with preparing for this week of testing, it is imperative that you nurture, encourage, and motivate him/her to do his/her best. I hope you will partner with us in wrapping your children in positive energy.
Here are a few strategies you can do at home to prepare your child:
- Make sure your child goes to bed early to get a good night's rest.
- Remind your child to gather his/her clothes and school supplies the night before.
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time.
- Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast.
We have high expectations of your child and will do everything possible to aid him/her in reaching their potential. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement.
Your igKNIGHTed Principal,
Dr. HP Hyder, III
