STAAR: Kudos to the ENTIRE staff for helping to make STAAR a huge success! Students were so quiet, allowing our testers to focus! Everyone had such positive attitudes!!! THANK YOU!
Student Attendance Incentive for 3rd Nine Weeks: You will receive a 50 SOAR Buck for each student that had perfect attendance for the 3rd Nine Weeks with no leave early's and no tardies. Since there are an average of 50 days in each nine weeks, this buck is equal to one SOAR Buck for each day of perfect attendance over the nine weeks. Please pass these out, celebrate your students, and remind them all about the importance of being here ALL day EVERY day!
