Principal's Desk
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable week. As we head into 2nd semester we will be communicating important dates and information regarding local and state testing, scheduling deadlines, and upcoming events for students. The following dates are days that student will either have no school or early release:
February 12 - Early Release for Students
February 15 - No school for Students/Teacher Professional Development
March 12 - Early Release for Students
March 15 --19 - Spring Break
During the month of February we will have our local benchmark testing. During this time we will pick one day for each grade level to administer the benchmark in a STAAR testing environment. This will allow for students to understand their room assignments and environment for STAAR, as well as help our campus prepare for all logistics prior to an actual STAAR testing day. The following are the dates this will occur for each grade level:
February 11 - 8th Grade, Science Benchmark
February 16 - 6th Grade, Math Benchmark
February 24 - 7th Grade, Reading Benchmark
We thank you all in advance for your support. It's a great day to be a Wildcat!
Sincerely,
John Fahey
Principal
