Remember this Friday is an early release day for elementary schools only. Release time is at 11:30 so please make arrangements for your child after release time. Also this weekend starts daylight savings time. Clocks will need to be moved forward 1 hour to accommodate the change.
We are all excited for Spring Break to begin next week. This will be a much needed break as we head into the home stretch of the school year. Our first round of STAAR testing begins at the end of the month with 4th grade writing beginning on Monday, March 30th. Day 2 of writing is Tuesday, March 31st. Also, 5th grade reading is on Tuesday, March 31st. Passing this test is a requirement for passing to the 6th grade. Students who are unsuccessful on the first attempt will be given another chance in May and a final chance after summer school if needed. Hopefully all of our students will do well. Unlike in previous years, 5th grade math will not be taken until April and students will only take it one time. Promotion is not affected this year by the math scores. This is because we have introduced a new, more rigorous math curriculum. Pass/fail standards for math will not be set until August.
Have a Great Spring Break!!! J
