This is an incredibly short newsletter this week. We have lots to celebrate, but we will do that next week with our last newsletter of the school year. Next week on Tuesday, we will wrap up final awards ceremonies for 7th and 8th grade, any final assignments with teachers, and any final project presentations.
We have one full week remaining. A lot of final projects and assignments are coming due this week, so please help your students finish strong over the next 10 days. We have included the calendar for the remaining 10 days so you can plan.
We have two full weeks of school remaining! We hope everyone has a great time celebrating their mothers today. We have a number of field trips happening this week, as well as the Rising 5th graders headed our way this week. Our projects are nearing completion.

We have THREE full weeks of school remaining! The time has flown this year. We have great projects, fun field trips, and continued learning planned so we ask for your help to keep our students on track.
TCAPS are done and we coast to the end? Absolutely not! Now is when teachers start pushing into the project based learning or learning labs that the next month allow time to develop and broaden skillsets and standards they have learned over the last year.
Our first week of TCAP testing was great. We have tested 94.3 percent of all the students, and the remaining 5 percent are only missing one or two parts of the ELA test. This week, we test Math on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Social Studies on Thursday, and end the week with Science Testing on Friday. We will continue to make up tests in the afternoon and into the following week.
We start TCAP testing this week. We are doing all of the English testing this week, with the other three subjects NEXT week. What we want to say to your students: You Got This!
We in are our final regular week before we start TCAP testing. Our teachers will be pushing to teach remaining standards and review hard with your students. TCAPs are one of the ways in which we measure your student's progress. It is important, but YOUR STUDENT IS MORE THAN A TCAP score.
As our teachers talk about data with students and finish out their instruction before TCAPs, we wanted to take a moment to remind parents that the most important things a student can do is BE HERE and BE ENGAGED. To paraphrase the old cartoon show, those two components are half the battle. TCAPs are used as reflection of what students have learned, and we want students to showcase their brilliance.
