Comer Elementary's STAR News
May 8 - 12, 2023
Our 4th graders will finish Milestones testing this week. Our Comets are doing an amazing job! Continue to help us make sure that our students get a good night's sleep and have a healthy breakfast on testing days. Students who arrive at Comer before about 7:35am do get a hot breakfast for free each morning! At 7:40am, breakfast shifts to a to-go breakfast so students can take that to their classrooms.
We also plan to reward our students who demonstrate STAR behavior during the Milestones! Third, Fourth and Fifth graders will be working to earn points each day of the Milestones so that they can earn a field trip in May! Points are based on STAR behavior and making use of test-taking strategies that have been discussed in class.

May Reminders
Here are some things you can do to help your child be ready to start each day!
- Please make sure if your child has a jacket or hoodie that it is labeled with his/her name.
- A good night's sleep helps your child be rested and ready to learn.
- Be here no later than 7:50 A.M.
- Make sure your child has their agenda with any notes about transportation changes.
- Chromebooks need to be fully charged.
- Whenever your child is absent, please send a note on a piece of paper or in their agenda. You may also send an email to our secretary, Donice Moss.
- Parents are encouraged to send nutritious foods for snack breaks. Soft drinks and candy are not allowed, per our student handbook. Water only in water bottles (other drinks cause sticky spills).
- Please consider sending your child to school with a water bottle as the weather is getting warmer. It is helpful if you make sure the bottle is clearly labeled with your child’s name. The fountains are back open, but it usually takes more water than that to balance out recess, PE, and other outdoor activities.
