Mrs. Gerik's Update
We will have our Easter Egg Hunt this Thursday at Mac Peoples Stadium. Students will be participating on the field. Parents are invited to come watch the fun from the bleachers, but will not be allowed on the track or field. After the egg hunt is over, parents/guardians will be able to sign out their students with their teacher.
Egg Hunt Times:
1st Grade Egg Hunt--1:00
2nd Grade Egg Hunt--1:45
3rd Grade Egg Hunt--2:30
If your student has not brought their 12 candy-filled eggs, please make sure they do so ASAP.
This Friday, March 29th is a Non-Instructional Day.
Cadet PRIDE
Our students focus on 5 areas throughout the school day to ensure they have a productive day. We call this Cadet PRIDE.
Students who show exceptional behavior in any of these areas can receive a shout-out from anyone on campus.
PREPARED--How ready are you?
RESPECT--How do you treat others and your school?
INTEGRITY--Who are you when nobody is looking?
DISCIPLINE--Are you following the rules?
EFFORT--Are you being your best self?
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.
