BEAR CREEK BLAST
November: Thanksgiving Break
No Excuses University @ Bear Creek
EVERY MINUTE COUNTS!
Our doors open at 7:15 each morning for students to wait in the gym or cafeteria. Between 7:30 and 7:40 our teachers are greeting each student at their classroom door and at 7:40 instruction begins. Students should be seated and ready to start the day before the 7:40 bell. If you arrive after 7:40, please park and walk your child into the front office. As a No Excuses University campus it is crucial that students learn the importance of being on time.
Dear Parents/Guardian of 3rd -5th grade students,
Your child/children has/have been hard at work completing Interim Assessments. This year, online Interim Assessments took the place of benchmark assessments. Your child child used two days within the testing window to complete a Reading and Math assessment.
The information learned from these assessments will help teachers to gauge your child’s/children's progress on the TEKS that have been taught thus far. Admin, teachers, and instructional support will now spend some time analyzing our data to make instructional decisions that will provide further laser foci for your child’s/children’s instruction.
It is important to note that the Interim Assessments do not affect your child’s/children's’ grades, but are a data point that will aide in lesson design and lesson planning.
Should you have any question regarding Interim Assessments, please feel free to contact Dr. Stevens at kimberly.stevens@gcisd.net or (817)305-4860.
Thank you, and have a great Thanksgiving break!
Counselor's Corner
K. C. Club will be collecting toys for our annual toy drive benefiting GRACE. The toy drive will run from November 26 and end on December 14th. We will have boxes in front of the office. Please send a new, unwrapped toy and spread some holiday cheer!
