Our students and teachers have been working diligently to prepare for the state assessments in order to help the day run smoothly we ask that you please adhere to the following on these dates:
- SSE will be closed to visitors on testing days. If you need to contact your child, please call the front office desk directly at 713-251-7100 and we will attend to you. It at all possible please try to avoid early dismissals for personal reasons.
- Lunch and Specials schedules may be adjusted during testing days.
- If your child is testing, ensure your child goes to bed by 8:00- 8:30 p.m. the night before to ensure a good nights rest.
- Ensure your child arrives early to school by 7:00 a.m. to eat breakfast or provide breakfast for your child on those days.
- Wish your child best wishes on their test day! They will do great!
We want to thank Blessings in a Backpack for creating an individual STAAR Snack Bag for each testing student. Support your school teachers by bringing breakfast for the lounge for them on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thank you parents for your undeniable support so that your child continues to succeed!
Together we can help your child achieve their dreams for their future!
With much wildcat love,
