"Testing Season is Upon Us"
Can you believe that we are already 2 months into the new year? It seems just like yesterday we were safely ringing in the New Year with our family and friends. Given the frequency in which we are seeing Mondays, it is imperative that we keep our eye on the prize.
Not only is February "Black History Month", it is also the beginning of state testing. More than 70% of our students will take their TELPAS assessment this month. We will also have 7th graders take their 1st Practice STAAR test next week.
Since testing season is upon us, we need your partnership now more than ever. Please partner with us by:
- Making sure your child attends school every day he/she is feeling well.
- Monitoring your child's grades in Skyward.
- Contacting your child's teachers if you have any concerns.
- Making sure your child completes all assignments.
- Attend our Drive-thru Curriculum Night on Wednesday, February 10th at 5 pm-6 pm.
Even though the Texas Education Agency will not rate districts and campuses this year, we are still responsible for our students' learning and being prepared for next year. With your support, we are confident our students will be successful now and in the future.
Your igKNIGHTed Principal,
Dr. HP Hyder, III
