Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
October has arrived! This month will continue to be a busy month for activities at DATA at TR. It is critical for students to use their planners and keep themselves organized as they manage the MANY components of high school. As we near the end of the first nine weeks, I cannot reiterate enough how critical it is for students to talk with their teachers, develop a plan of action for tutoring, and make up any missing work. Let's not wait for failure to start positive habits.
I also want to remind all that on October 13 we will be giving the PSAT on campus to all 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. Seniors who will be applying for the Alamo Promise will be able to take the TSI on October 13. All other seniors will have late arrival to school that day, reporting at 12 noon. The 11th graders will be taking the National Merit Semi-Finalist Qualifying Test (NMSQT) PSAT that can result in large scholarships for them. I would recommend that juniors do some reviewing to ensure they come prepared for the test that day. All grade level PSAT testers will benefit from the results they receive from the exam to better prepare for the SAT and future PSAT offerings. Included later in this newsletter are some links to so review links and a few weeks ago Schmoop was advertised as a helpful review tool as well.
Please review the many details included below. If you have specific questions, please reach out so we can assist with those items. Have a wonderful week and please continue to stay safe.

Are you interested in PSAT/SAT math review?
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month & TR's PinkOut Game is October 16.
Mr. Cavazos and his UT OnRamps Rhetoric and Writing students had a Debrief and Donuts celebration on Friday.
These DATA seniors persevered through the challenges of the course and produced solid Formal Research Summary essays. This was their first graded assignment in the college shell of the dual enrollment course and they did very well. We are proud of their hard work and commitment to earn college credit now. Keep up the great work!
Shout out to our students who were sharing great tips during Rough Rider Readiness this past Thursday
AP exam payment opens October 7
The payment window opens October 7. Students will access the “AP Exams Payment” link via their Skyward STUDENT Access (this link is only in Student Access, not Parent Access – we have asked for it to be accessible to parents, but this is currently not an available option) to either pay for their exam(s) or cancel their exam. Either way, students should access this link so they may indicate their testing choice. This link should be live for families from October 7 until November 3 for credit card payments. Should families opt to pay by cash, they may do so until November 10 with Mrs. Kaylyn Taylor in the Counseling office area/College and Career Center.
Thank you to all the DATA students who showed up for the DATA Spirit Competition at the Volleyball Game! It was great fun to cheer on the Lady Riders!
Students are encouraged to get a step ahead for college and career preparation. Check out the opportunities offered each Tuesday in the College and Career Center.
