Kick-Off Kindness Sidewalk Chalk Campaign!!
Just a reminder . . . Monday, March 21st we will be participating in a district wide kick-off to kindness! Our kick-off will start with a sidewalk chalk campaign that is designed to provide positive notes, comments, and words of affirmation. These words just might make a difference in a child's day, week, or even month.
If you would like to participate in the morning kick off, please meet in the front of the school between 7:00 and 7:20. We will be passing out chalk and writing notes on the sidewalk outside of the school. In case of rain, I will be passing out black construction paper for you to write on.
Classes are still encouraged to participate during the day. Sidewalk chalk will be available for checkout in the front office. Thanks so much!
Upcoming STAAR Testing
Our first round of STAAR testing is here! The campus is closed to visitors on all testing days listed. Please be mindful of this when scheduling conferences or inviting volunteers to campus. The make up day will depend on the number of testers and exactly where they will be testing. There is no way to predict ahead of time, so for now, the campus is closed to visitors that day. We will let you know if that changes.
Dates:
- March 29th ~ 4th grade Writing and 5th grade Math
- March 30th ~ 5th grade Reading & 4th grade Writing make up
- April 1st ~ 4th & 5th grade make up
More information regarding any schedule changes will be coming soon in a separate email.
Thanks for helping support our testers!!
