The Raptor Report April 5, 2021
All Things Rushing!
Principal's Message!
Please remember, no school, tomorrow, Monday, April 5! Additionally, we will be administering 7th grade writing STAAR Tuesday April 6. 7th graders, please remember to bring your fully charged Chromebook with your charger on Tuesday morning for testing.
Also wanted to make sure that I tell you all how thankful I am for another productive, successful week! All of the big things pop into my mind that I am thankful for, family, faith, the opportunity to do what I love for a living, but it also occurred to me that I forget how important the little things are, how an appreciation for those things makes life just as beautiful as the big things. I thought about how thankful I am for a great cup of coffee, for laughing with my colleagues, for hugs and smiles (even behind masks), for chats with students, and getting to know them better and better!
Most of all I realized that I am so thankful for everything and everyone that touches my life. I realized that I do not tell the people that impact me that enough. So, my promise for the rest of the year is to let you know how thankful I am for you all! I am so very thank you for continuing our journey at Rushing Middle School!
Thank you for your continued support and, as I have said, with GRACE, GRATITUDE, and KINDNESS, we can resolve any issue and move forward for the success of our students at Rushing Middle School, GO RAPTORS!
Sincerely,
Danielle Wallace

Writing STAAR Information for 7th Graders:
Just wanted to send out a bit of information for our 7th grade writing STAAR, April 6. Please make sure your student has a school issued Chromebook and that it is fully charged to start the day. If you child does not have a school issued Chromebook, please complete this form. We would also ask that they bring their charger that day. Additionally, students are allowed to bring water and dry snacks. Lunch will be delayed that day, but after testing, students will have access to the full cafeteria. Students will need to leave their phones in backpacks and will not have access to them during testing.
Virtual students testing need to arrive no later than 8:10 AM and will go to the library to receive instructions on where they will test. After the testing time frame, virtual students can be picked up at 12:30 PM in the front carline.
Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
Have a great week!
