STAAR/TELPASOnlinePractice

It is NOW time to begin implementing STAAR Online Practice for all STAAR-tested grade levels. This is an opportunity for students to become familiar with the tools they will use on the test. As discussed in our previous PLC, SPED and Gen-Ed co-teachers can support homeroom teachers by working with small groups during this practice.

Additionally, if you'd like to access STAAR online practice materials, you can use the link below:

Dear Parents,

In our ongoing effort to promote healthier eating habits, we kindly ask that you limit unhealthy snack choices in your child's lunch. Specifically, family-sized chip bags and similar snacks will not be allowed. 🚫

Research shows that a nutritious diet plays a vital role in children's overall health, well-being, and academic performance. Unhealthy snacks can lead to issues such as decreased focus, energy levels, and long-term health risks. 📉 By providing healthier options, we can support our students in achieving their best both in and out of the classroom. 📚✨

We encourage you to opt for health-smart snack choices like fresh fruits 🍎, vegetables 🥕, yogurt, or whole-grain options.

Regular attendance is key to your child's academic success. Missing school means missing important lessons and interactions.

EVERY DAY COUNTS!

To ensure absences are excused, please provide a doctor's note for any missed days. This is a new requirement for the 2024-2025 school year. If student is absent parent must send an email to moye_notes@episd.org

Your support in maintaining consistent attendance helps keep your child on track and thriving.

Our weekly goal is 97%!

We can do it!
