**Our campus will be a closed campus to all parents and visitors on STAAR testing days. There will be no observations on these days and parents cannot eat with their student on these days. Also, please be aware that we cannot interrupt testing to bring students items so glasses, snacks, water, and lunches MUST be sent with your student in the morning.
The cafeteria will only be serving sack lunches on May 14-15.
Parents can help their children be prepared to do their best by following these guidelines:
*make sure your student gets a good night’s rest before test day
*make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast
*make sure your child arrives to school on time (tardy students may not be allowed to test)
*no early release before 1:30 pm (for doctor/dentist appointments)
*send a book for your child to read after he/she finishes testing
*send a bottle of water and a healthy, NON-MESSY snack each day of testing (lunch is later due to the test, so students will get hungry without a snack) Some good choices are peanut butter/cheese crackers, goldfish crackers, pretzels, nuts, granola bars or trail mix. Snacks that are juicy or leave a lot of residue on fingers such as oranges or Cheetos can not be allowed because the mess could cause a student’s test document to be invalidated.
Thank you for partnering with us to help ensure your student has a successful testing experience!
From the Principal
Thank you for making Teacher Appreciation Week so special for our staff! We appreciate you so very much!
Next week is our BIG round of STAAR testing for 3rd-6th grade. Our students have the opportunity to demonstrate all that they have learned this year! Because of testing, our campus is a closed campus to visitors each day next week. If your child is testing, please have him/her get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and get to school on time each day for testing. It's so important!Less than two weeks to go--we can do it!
Have a great weekend!
