From Mrs. Hoover
- Thank you to everyone for a very successful Writing STAAR day. Things ran extremely smooth.
- Accommodations for math and reading will be coming out soon. Please check these very carefully. If there is an ARD, RTI, or 504 meeting coming up before STAAR and changes will be made , let me know immediately so that I can assure all students are in the right place.
- I will be sending out the options for our textbook bundles to leads. We need to make a decision pretty quickly. Please discuss in your next ELA meeting. I will try to make it to all of them.
