It's MAY, YAY!
Here is a TENTATIVE schedule for testing next week. I will have a finalized one on Tuesday for staff meeting but I wanted everyone to have an idea of what they will be doing for testing. Please see me if you have any questions.

STAAR Pep Rally Information
Its that time of year!! 3-5 graders are gearing up for their STAAR test in a couple of weeks. It has become tradition to have a pep rally to motivate and pump them up. This is planned for this FRIDAY. We would like to begin the pep rally with a walk through the halls of 2-K and have the younger kids cheer them on. If you could please have your students/classes make encouraging signs and posters for the students to hold (and later post in the hallways) we would appreciate it. We would like to begin walking the halls at 2:15.
Please let Mrs. Eaves know if you have any questions or concerns.
Also- We would like to have a “Neon-out” day on Friday as part of the pep rally. We are going to encourage all students and teachers to SHINE BRIGHT!!!
