Principal’s Prose
Greetings Team,
I hope you all had a great weekend, despite the chill of “winter’s last stand” in April! No matter the weekend’s wobbly weather, it could not eclipse the great first steps in “protecting the progress” with last week’s STAAR administration. Each of you did an amazing job in fulfilling your individual roles to ensure our students had a suitable stage and environment to show what they know. Due to your work, organization, preparation and readiness, our students worked HARD to represent Sudie TAG both on the STAAR and the common assessment. Great job everyone, as your stakes in student success have been recognized, and clearly marked by your deeds!
With one testing round down, lots of intense work and focus still remain a priority. Looking ahead, we are only 17 school days away from the next STAAR administration. Within this critical window, there are also scheduled field trips, campus events and other activities through which we must successfully navigate before round two begins. This will demand lots of focus, however, I view this challenge as just another opportunity for Sudie TAG to shine!
In closing, as we begin to put the final touches on this school year, I am consistently reminded that it’s our love for students that drives us in all we do. Over the last few weeks, I have witnessed staff members selflessly give their time, talent and treasures beyond school hours, parents support and console (all) students at competition, and newly accepted families “jump for joy” upon receiving the invitation to join us. There was even a story shared by a parent of how her daughter replied, “The STAAR test was great! We had so much fun!” Yes, true story! It’s what YOU are doing and the LOVE you are showing that makes these realities possible! My plea is that you’d all please keep sharing, as the demand for your PASSION is at an all time high!
Make it a super short week team!
Sincerely,
MJ
