Week 1 March 21-25

Week 3 April 4-8
Week 4 April 11-14

We will be taking our Benchmark test this week in Math, Reading and Science. Encourage your child to do their best and a good nights rest always helps too. We will try to mirror STAAR test week schedule (May 10-12). If your student brings their phone to school it will be collected and then returned to them after all testing for the day has finished. Make sure your student has a pair of wired headphones before the test on Tuesday.

Looking forward to a great week to finish out the year. Full of Christmas Joy and Celebrations, I have provided a summary below to help keep the days straight.

Thursday is the 5th grade music program at 10:30am and you are welcome to check your student out at its conclusion. Friday is also an early release day and our class Christmas Party will be held from 9-10am in the gym, students are able to be checked out after 9:30am.

We are also looking for some prizes (small toys/candy/gift cards/etc.) to be donated that we can use with the games send them by Tuesday, please.
