HELP US KEEP FREE BREAKFAST & LUNCH
Booker Parents, we have only collected 65% of our Free & Reduced Lunch Applications! Without 100% of our applications, Booker is in jeopardy of losing the privilege of qualifying for free breakfast and lunch for all students under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) sponsored by the campus, which is a federally funded program.
Check here for more info: https://www.fns.usda.gov/cn/community-eligibility-provision.
Parents and guardians, the annual update is a requirement for every child enrolled in Spring ISD. Please complete the ANNUAL UPDATE NO LATER THAN AUGUST 30TH! We will have to start pulling students out of class after the deadline!

CHROMEBOOK AUDIT IS NEXT WEEK!

CHROMEBOOK AUDIT IS ALMOST COMPLETE!
Parents,
Thank you for helping us with our Chromebook Audit. We are at 75%, but need to get to 100%! We have 119 students left! If your student checked out a Chromebook during the 2020-2021 school year, please have them bring it to school on Monday, September 13th so it can be scanned into the system and students can continue to use their device for the remainder of this school year. Student Chromebooks that have not been verified by Monday, September 13th, will be deactivated until it is presented to campus staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Leslie Mitchell, Lberry@springisd.org.

EVERY STUDENT NEEDS A CHROMEBOOK. IF YOU HAVE YPUR OWN DEVICE, NO NEED TO CHECK ONE OUT, BUT LET YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER KNOW A CHROMEBOOK IS NOT NEEDED!

TELPAS & STAAR Reports
If your child tested with us last year for TELPAS or STAAR you should have received a letter in the Wednesday folder on September 8. If you need additional help locating your student’s testing report card you can contact me at tdupont@springisd.org.
BOY MAP Screener window is closed and testing is complete with the exception of a few students that were out. Mclass reading screener for K-2 is close to completion.
Students in grades 3rd-5th will participate in a Pre-STAAR BOY Assessment towards the end of September. Final date is TBD. This is not a grade and designed only to highlight gaps in objectives and drive instruction.
