Pearsall Intermediate School News

Dear Intermediate School Families,

Students will be testing this week and next week. This week is Benchmark Testing Week on our campus. These assessments help us measure student progress and plan instruction to better support every learner. Next week, students will be taking their six-weeks exams. It is extremely important that students do not leave early after their lunch with loved ones so they can complete their exams.

What families can expect

• Students will be testing during scheduled blocks throughout the week.

• Please help your child arrive on time each day so testing can begin smoothly.

• Be sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats breakfast each morning.

• Encourage your child to take their time, do their best, and stay focused.

Testing reminders

• Please avoid scheduling appointments during testing times if possible.

• Phones, smart watches, and personal devices are not allowed during testing.

Every day in class counts! Please help us by ensuring your child arrives on time and ready to learn each morning. Consistent attendance helps build good habits and keeps students from falling behind. We have several incentives happening on campus.

Tutorials are in full swing. Please ensure your child stays for assigned tutorials. Tutorials provide targeted support and are an important part of helping students succeed academically. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s learning.

• Backpacks - Backpacks are checked each morning. We ask that you ensure your child is only bringing necessary school supplies in their backpacks. We also ask that extra items hanging from backpack zippers be removed (except hand sanitizers). Please check your child's backpack daily for notes and homework.
• Snacks - We don't mind students bringing snacks, but please only send personal snack size items (no larger than 2 oz) that can be eaten during lunch.
• Water Bottles - Please only send water in refillable water bottles.
• Birthdays - We don't mind recognizing your child's birthday at school, but please only send store bought cupcakes that can be distributed at the end of the school day. No pizzas, please.
• Walkers - We understand students may have to walk to a particular location after school. With that in mind, please help stress the importance of safety when walking. Students who do not practice safety while walking may be required to be picked up at school.
• Pick-Up - Please pick up students in the areas designated by the pickup map. Students should not be picked up through the teacher parking lot.
