The Bang Bear News
Ramona Bang Elementary
We are super excited about our upcoming parties on Thursday, December 21st which is also the last day for students and staff before the winter break begins. Our PTO will provide delicious snacks and treats for each party, so we can be consistent. Extra food will not be allowed. We want all parties to have the same festive agenda and food items. Due to limited space in our classrooms we are asking that a maximum of 2 adult guests per student attend. This is a wonderful celebration for our Bang students. Adult guests only - no school age students.
There will be a modified lunch schedule on 12/21/17. Due to the change in lunch schedules we will not be able to accommodate visitors during lunch on December 21st. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Please enter through the front doors for the parties and check in at one of our welcome tables. As always, thank you for having your identification ready for review. The party schedule will be as follows:
Congratulations to Peter Nguyen in Ms. Weathers 3rd grade class. Peter is our Bang Elementary Spelling Bee winner.
Credit By Exam
Students in grades K-5 will have four opportunities during the school year to use “credit-by-exam” to accelerate to another grade level. Students will only have one opportunity to test for each grade level considered.
To apply to take the test to skip kindergarten, a student must be 5 by September 1, and registered in a CFISD school. To apply to take the test to skip grade 1, a student must be 6 by September 1, and enrolled in a CFISD school.
Students who earn scores of 80% or better on each component of the credit-by-exam will qualify to advance one grade. Only one grade level may be “skipped” each year. No retests will be given.
If you are interested in getting more information about credit-by-exam, please contact the school counselor.
