Open House for Perspective Families
No After School Clubs: 11/8
Because we have no school on Tuesday, 11/8, we will not run our after school clubs. Tuesday clubs will now run through 11/29 to make up for this day.
3rd-5th Grade Benchmark Testing
Students in grades 3-5 will be taking the Reading Benchmark on 11/10 and the Math Benchmark on 11/15. The state is shifting STAAR dates to include only one test administration per week so benchmarks will follow the same scheduling practice.
STAAR Test Redesign
House Bill 3261 mandates that state assessments be administered online by the 2022–2023 school year. House Bill 3906 enacted a “multiple choice cap,” meaning that no more than 75% of points on a STAAR test can be based on multiple choice questions. There are several resources for families linked below including sample question types.
Kindergarten Thanksgiving Program
New Family Guide A-Z: Letter G
Grade-Level Special Music Programs
The music teacher will plan and lead students in each grade level in one special program
per year. For example, Kindergarteners will learn and perform a Thanksgiving Program for
their families and 2nd graders perform during Intercultural Festival and Fine Arts Night.
Volunteer Application/Background Check
If you have not done so, please make sure to fill out the application and complete the background check. This is a required step when you volunteer and when you visit the school in spaces with students that are not your own.
