The Rolling Hills R.O.A.R. !
Mid-February Edition
Literacy is essential for success in school, work, and life. It allows people to learn, communicate, and participate in society.
Why literacy is important:
Education: Literacy is a fundamental part of education and helps students learn and develop critical thinking skills.
Employment: Literacy skills are essential for obtaining jobs and advancing in careers.
- Safety: Literacy helps people understand safety regulations and warnings, which can prevent accidents.
- Community: Literacy helps people participate in community activities and be more civically engaged.
Health: A lack of literacy can be linked to health issues, and improving literacy can improve a person's healthcare.
Benefits of literacy:
Literacy can help our students gain confidence and self-worth. It can help reduce poverty and allow individuals to participate in the labor market. It can help our school community make informed decisions and live healthier lives. It is vital to supporting our students' learning. As we focus on literacy this week, how will you continue to promote the importance of literacy at home? Let's continue to work together to promote literacy and reading. Thanks for your participation with our Spring Book Fair.
Thanks for all you continuously do to ensure student success !
Happy to serve,
Principal Johnson
During the 2024-2025 school year, at Rolling Hills Engineering Academy teachers and campus staff will plan, manage, and execute as we address how teaching and learning will occur on our campus. Our ultimate goal is student academic achievement and social-emotional well-being so we will be intentional about what we do daily to ensure students succeed both academically and socially.
As we continue to promote the power of positivity, it's Random Acts of Kindness Week ! It is celebrated from February 14th to February 20th annually. It's a celebration of all the ways we can be a positive influence in each other's lives. Even one small act of kindness can mean a great deal to somebody. Please continue to promote this as a character building piece for our students and help everyone to understand the value of being kind to each other.
We are being intentional about spending additional time to ensure our 3rd, 4th, and 5th, grade students are prepared for the upcoming STAAR Assessments. Our Boot Camp to "SMACK DOWN the STAAR" will be taking place during the school day to address high needs concepts. Please place the following dates on your calendar:
Tuesday, April 15th, Reading Grades 3, 4, 5
Tuesday, April 22nd, Science Grade 5
Tuesday, April 29th, Math Grades 3, 4, 5
We look forward to both the individual and collective success of our school community. We appreciate all you do as educators and parents to make sure teaching and learning occurs each day !
