Patriot Pride
Feb 24 - March 2
End of 4th CA, End of February
We are completing two months of 2020 already!!
Thank you for a spectacular Common Assessment week! With the testing environment, accommodations, small groups, and schedule mirroring our first round of STAAR, we know exactly what adjustments to make on our Testing Schedule Document to have our scholars fully prepared and setup for success for their exam.
As a small token of our appreciation and a Thank You for all of your hard work y'all have put into 2020; on Monday (Feb 24) we will have a Hamburger Cookout as well as Brisket :-) . The brisket has been trimmed, seasoned, and placed in the smoker at 4pm so it be fully ready by tomorrow morning. Drinks and other items will be provided as well.
We have 15 Days until Spring Break, please be strategic in planning and be collaborative with your grade level teams on creating systems and initiatives to keep students motivated and on the right track. If you would like any thinking partners on creating a positive student incentive program, please let me or anyone on the leadership team know and we can work together to build one.
Happy end of February and have a great week!!
Vincent
Onward!

4th & 5th Grade Highlight
Our 4th and 5th Grade teachers each resemble the mythology of Atlas - the Titan who held the sky up and kept the weight on his shoulders to save the world.
Our 5 teachers each are serving and providing for two full grade levels, responsible for knowing each grade levels TEKS, pushing our kids forward, and these five teachers solely comprise the entire 2A Domain for our campus state accountability. This is not an easy burden to bear, but each one of these teachers do so in stride.
These teachers also took on a new field trip this year to JA BizTown, incorporated the field trip's curriculum into their schedule, and somehow managed to do an outstanding job in facilitating our campus Exhibition!! They are on top of knowing their scholars' data, Student Trackers, and can break down how the state accountability system works.
Thank you Miranda, Prada, Velazquez, Bonadona, and Hockema. You are all outstanding and our kids are lucky to have you!!
Our 3rd Grade Team has collaborated and created a Student Motivation Program!
