Mrs. Gerik's Update
January is a busy time of year! We have been in the process of doing benchmark testing to assess student growth and achievement. During this time, it is important to make sure that your student gets plenty of sleep as well as a good breakfast to help ensure that they perform to the best of their ability. Please make sure they get to school on time as we begin first thing in the morning.
Don't forget that this Friday is an Intervention Day! Letters for enrichment opportunities have already been sent and mailed home. Please return the letter with transportation information filled out to your child's teacher by Thursday. New Intervention Friday invitation letters will go home next week following data analysis.
STAAR Information
As we get closer to STAAR, parents unfamiliar with the new STAAR Redesign should take the time to explore the changes. You can visit the TEA website on STAAR Redesign for more information. On this website, your student can take a practice test, and you have access to released test questions from previous years.
One of the biggest ways you can support your child with STAAR is by having them practice typing since they will be taking the STAAR online. TypeTastic is a free online typing program that your student can use while at home.
Thank you to the Connally ISD School Board for everything that they do to support our district's students, staff, and community members. You can learn more about our Board of Trustees here!
Important Announcements/Information
Drop Off/ Pick Up Lanes for Primary & Jr High
CISD PD will begin placing cones later this week during drop-off and pick-up times to assist with traffic flow and reduce the number of near accidents. Please be advised that only CJH parent drivers should be in the far left lane on Connally Circle and must turn left with the flow of traffic for drop-off and pick-up at the Jr High. Please see the attached map below.
