Zaxby's Night Tonight! Grab a great meal and say you are there to support Riojas Elementary!
From the Principal
As we prepare to start STAAR assessments next week, we would like to share some important information regarding the upcoming state mandated exams. First, we are ready! Our 4th and 5th grade students are well prepared. We strongly encourage all students who will taking assessments to be present on those days. See next week's schedule of tests below.
How can you help?
Please make sure your children are well rested, well fed, and feeling your love and encouragement.
Snacks
We will provide one snack and water for each student on their test day, but you are more than welcome to send something, too. Snacks need to be neat, and make little to no noise. Suggestions include granola bars, goldfish, pretzels, grapes, cheese sticks, bananas, jerky, dried fruit, or protein bars. Please avoid things that leave a residue such as Cheetos or Takis, and crunchy fruits and vegetables like carrots.
Cell Phones and Other Devices
Students taking the STAAR assessment will not be permitted to have their cell phone, apple watch or any non permitted device that connects to the internet with them during testing. All cell phones and devices will be collected, labeled and securely stored until testing concludes. If a student does not feel comfortable turning in their device, they are welcome to leave it at home for the day.
Visitors on STAAR Days
Visitors are always welcome at Riojas! However, due to the security of the test, visitors of testing students will not be admitted to the main part of the building. Any office business or item drop offs are fine, but please plan to have lunch at school or volunteer on another day. Non-testing grade level visitors for lunch are ok. They must remain at the front of the building in the cafeteria area. No volunteers will be admitted in the main part of the building. Thank you for understanding.
I hope to see you at school sometime soon,
Christi

Changes In Going Home
If you are changing the way your child goes home, you must communicate that to the front office staff by stopping by the office or calling the office. Please do not send an email. Our teachers are busy teaching and helping students and often do not check their email throughout the day. The office communicates changes to our staff close to the end of the school day, but all changes must be reported to the office before 1pm. This helps us ensure a safe dismissal for all students.
