Happy New Year, Tiger Family!
We are on the move, and our scholars and staff are ready to conquer the second month of the year. Last month, we hosted several events from our Dazzling Dolls performance at the Rockets halftime show, a family game night, and celebrated 100 Days of School.
We will have our second round of SLEDs this month on February 23rd. This is an opportunity for students to share their learning in all content areas. Be on the lookout for a Signup Genius notification from your child’s teacher. On February 10th, our PTC is hosting the 2nd Annual Sweetheart Ball. Make sure you purchase your tickets!
We’re celebrating Black History Month with a variety of activities throughout the month. Please see the flyer below to see the time of our Black History Program, “A Moment in Time.”
Mandatory tutorials have begun. Please allow your scholars to attend the weekly sessions. Teachers have provided the days they will tutor and will cover concepts that need additional review, including STAAR-aligned skills for our 3rd-6th grade scholars.
Our scholars will participate in Project-Based Learning (PBL) activities that are an extension of the TEKS their teacher is covering in the classroom. This is a great way for students to show their thinking in a creative way. All PBLs count as an assessment grade. Parents, please reinforce with your scholars to complete the projects assigned. Feel free to reach out to your scholar’s teacher if help is needed.
Parents, daily attendance is crucial to your scholar's success, and students with excessive absences are missing out on classroom instruction. State law requires students to attend 90% of the school year. Remember, three tardies are considered an absence, and students with 18 or more absences will face retention pending summer school.
Summer school letters have been sent home for students who are in danger of failing due to grades or attendance. Please contact the front office if you have any questions concerning the letter.
Thank you, parents, for all you do to support our scholars and campus. Let’s continue to make our second semester great!
Growing Students with Excellence, Every Day!
